Omschrijving
This book outlines the life and intellectual thought of the English surrealist artist and psychoanalyst, Dr Grace Pailthorpe (1883-1971). It gathers her published and unpublished writings, providing an in-depth study of the importance of surrealism of her work and legacy.
"Grace Pailthorpe was an extraordinary figure, a pioneering female surgeon, psychoanalyst and artist. The Portman Clinic, of which she is the de jure founder, is a unique institution that specialises in studying the roots of violent, sexual and antisocial behaviour. In some ways this parallels surrealism’s fascination with the irrational, bizarre and unconventional. This second of two excellent new books by Lee Ann Montanaro and Alberto Stefana represent a major re-appraisal of Grace Pailthorpe’s life and her involvement with the surrealist movement."
Jessica Yakeley, Director of the Portman Clinic, Consultant Psychiatrist in Forensic Psychotherapy; Associate Medical Director, Clinical Governance and Medical Director, The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
"The multi-faceted, path-breaking career and fearless personality of Grace Pailthorpe are brought to life in this authoritative account of an extraordinary woman, who played a unique role in both the surrealist movement and the development of psychoanalysis in Britain."
