"Why are we so fascinated by beauty?" is a question many of us have
asked ourselves, as have many who came before us. This book
investigates the moment of ecstatic solitude in which everyone can
experience emotions through films, works of art or natural
phenomenon, when, even if for a "magic" instant, we feel "alive"
and masters of our own Self. Expanding from the author's personal
experience, this book is a series of applied psychoanalytic essays
on film, literature, and aesthetic pleasure. It explores the
complexity of loss and mourning, destructivity, perversion, and
revenge, as well as an exploration of what can facilitate
transformation and how to lead a blocked healing process back to
motion. This fascinating and insightful book will be of interest to
psychoanalysts, psychologists, teachers and students, and all those
with an interest in psychoanalysis and the arts.
