Why are psychoanalysts fascinated with literature and other arts?
And why do so many novels, plays, films, and television series
feature therapy sessions? Transferences investigates the
interdisciplinary attraction between psychoanalysis and the arts by
exploring the therapeutic relationship as a recurring figure in
psychoanalytic discourse, literature, theater, and television. In
addition to close readings of psychoanalytic and critical texts,
the book presents a new approach to examining psychoanalytic themes
and formal devices in texts like Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint,
J. M. Coetzee's Life & Times of Michael K, Margaret Atwood's
Alias Grace, Peter Shaffer's Equus, and the HBO series In
Treatment. Transferences argues that psychoanalysts as well as
writers and other artists are fascinated by the therapeutic
relationship because it provides a unique site to negotiate the
narrative and artistic underpinnings of psychoanalysis and reflect
and reinvent the aesthetic and poetic potentiality of art.
