The Art of Personality is a diverse selection of talks and papers
on psychoanalysis and literature given by the author over the past
ten years. They elaborate on the goal expressed by Milton as
'becoming a true poem': that is, seeing parallels between the
gradual construction of the personality and the construction of a
work of art, following an internal evolution on the lines of Bion's
description of an 'endoskeletonous personality'. The works
discussed range from classic Greek drama to Dostoevsky, Kafka, and
Patrick White. The author's thoughts on our interaction with
literature stand alongside those of Adrian Stokes and Richard
Wollheim on understanding paintings. She brings together a broad
knowledge of ancient and modern writings with a deep understanding
of the creatively imaginative mind, illuminated by post-Kleinian
psychoanalysis. This book will be a source of pleasure and
inspiration both to general lovers of literature and to
psychoanalytic workers who value the poetic aspects of their
patients and their own forms of expression.'
