Throughout this thoughtful collection. the reader ponders a series
of questions about desire and longing. How, in the complex and
sophisticated world of abundance, can one simply know what one
wants and then hold on to it? Once known, the ability to fulfill
desire remains problematic, as psychological impediments prevents
us from living as fully as we might. If we overcome these, can
longing even be satisfied? On making a choice, do we mourn the not
chosen? Can a desire be fully actualized or does it change its
shape and meaning in the process of desiring itself?This book is
designed to highlight various aspects of desire, the light and the
dark, the igniting and the extinguishing. The contributors explore
the scope of desire as it is discovered, relished, quashed,
inhibited, or realized. Throughout there is a dialogue between
interpersonal psychoanalytic theory and aspects of culture that
are, or have been, taboo, cutting edge, or mundane. Also presented
are fresh clinical perspectives on a diverse range of daily
problems in living and struggles with desire. This book will appeal
to psychoanalysts, academics, students, and a general readership.
