In this book, depression is explored as a form of loss that
manifests itself as an inability to connect with others, to narrate
one's own existence, to derive meaning from life experiences, and
ultimately, to symbolically represent one's inner world. This loss
has the capacity to evolve into a chronic condition that can be
seen as a form of subjective darkness. A hermeneutic,
interpretative phenomenological approach is used that seeks to
preserve the individual voices of each narrative, while embedding
their stories in theoretical and current literature on depression.
The clinical cases of five individuals are used to elucidate some
common characteristics of depressive experience. Themes of loss,
death, darkness, the intergenerational transmission of trauma, and
unmetabolized pain are explored through a psychoanalytic lens that
seeks to shed light on the underlying dynamics of chronic
depression.
