This is not your typical psychotherapy case; it is the story of one
man's inner struggle to find peace and happiness in an internal
world filled with dangerous father figures and tempting but
rejecting femme fatales. Training analyst, author, and four-time
Nobel Peace Prize nominee Vamik Volkan weaves a compelling story of
Hamilton's complete psychoanalysis. From one angle, it is an
evocative, accessible page-turner, drawing readers from the
professional world and the lay public into the inner life of a
compulsive womanizer, and the psychoanalytic treatment that brought
about massive change in his inner life and personal relationships.
From another angle, it is about the profound influence of
historical traumas transmitted across generations and how not only
an individual's parents' personal trauma, but also ancestors'
historical traumas, reverberate in the current generation. Our
ancestors' suffering during wars, for example, does not disappear
when our ancestors die or when wars end, but continues to influence
their offspring. For the deeply inquisitive person and serious
students of psychoanalysis, this is an opportunity to learn about
psychoanalytic theory and technique applied to a single case. The
book confronts the question "Does psychoanalysis help?" Through
this detailed account of the psychoanalytic treatment processes,
the reader witnesses the slow but compelling changes in Hamilton's
internal world. Interspersed throughout the manuscript, J.
Christopher Fowler, an experienced therapist, clinical researcher,
and educator, challenges Volkan to explain how his psychoanalytic
techniques affect changes in Hamilton's mind.
