The papers of Edna O Shaughnessy are among the finest to be
found in psychoanalytic writing. Her work is unified not so much by
its subject matter, which is diverse, but by her underlying
preoccupations, including the nature of psychic reality and
subjectivity, and the psychic limits of endurance and
reparation.
Here a selection of her work, edited and with an introduction by
Richard Rusbridger, is brought together in a collection which
demonstrates the contribution that O Shaughnessy has made to many
areas of psychoanalysis, from personality organisations, the
superego, psychic refuges and the Oedipus complex to the subject of
whether a liar can be psychoanalysed. "Inquiries in Psychoanalysis"
is a record of clinical work and thinking over sixty years of
psychoanalytic practice with children and adults.
This wide-ranging selection of work will be essential reading
for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and students."
