'Few people would be better qualified than the author to write this
innovative and eagerly anticipated post-Kleinian book. Deeply
versed in the opus of Bion and Meltzer, the author enhances the
concept of "catastrophic change". The analyst who "eschews memory
and desire" observes the subtle interplay of transference and
countertransference (Meltzer's "counter dreaming") as it works
through aesthetic conflicts. The ensuing reciprocity of the
patients and analysts unconscious is revealed as the aesthetical
and ethical basis of psychoanalysis. In that sense the
psychoanalytical process parallels that of poetic and artistic
inspiration. They are all generated by creative internal objects.
Harris Williams' intellectual tour de force demonstrates
convincingly the human capacity for symbolic thinking that
underlies literary, artistic and psychoanalytic creativity. Her
encyclopaedic understanding of literature, art and psychoanalysis
contributes to this book's virtuosity.'- Irene Freeden, Senior
Member of the British Association of Psychotherapists
