Omschrijving
Phillips at his most brilliant
Phillips at his most brilliant
One moment, the ideas are clear and thrilling; the next, multi-clause, ludic sentences snare the reader in a web of complexity . . . [Phillips] draws nimbly on a wide hinterland of authors - from the poetry of Wallace Stevens to the philosophy of Wittgenstein, from Howard's End to Moby Dick
A mediation on the powerful fantasy of change
An inspiring vision of psychoanalysis
A response to the times we live in . . . an urgent invitation for a different kind of conversation
His style of psychoanalytic writing refreshingly lacks the usual heaviness and homage to the master
Adam Phillips, formerly Principal Child Psychotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital, London, is a practising psychoanalyst and a visiting professor in the English department at the University of York. He is the author of numerous works of psychoanalysis and literary criticism, including most recently On Wanting to Change, Attention Seeking, In Writing, Unforbidden Pleasures and Missing Out. He is General Editor of the Penguin Modern Classics Freud translations, and a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature.
