Reviews

"Art, Creativity and Psychoanalysis: Perspectives from Analyst-Artists is a fascinating series of personal/theoretical essays by 12 psychoanalyst-artists. Each traces a personal journey into what seems, but isn't, a double life. Together these narratives expand and complicate our understanding of the dynamic function of art and the ways that it informs psychoanalytic practice."-Joyce Slochower, Ph.D., Faculty, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. Author of Holding and Psychoanalysis: A relational Perspective. 2nd Edition, Routledge, 2013 and Psychoanalytic Collisions, 2nd Edition, Routledge, 2014."This exciting volume introduces us to the artist who lives in the therapist and the therapist in the artist. Moving, honest and self-reflective, the authors vividly portray their personal journeys and illustrate the many ways in which we touch the mind. Filled with wisdom, beauty and pain."-Galit Atlas, Ph.D., Faculty, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Author of The Enigma OF Desire: Sex, Longing and Belonging in Psychoanalysis, Routledge, 2016.
