Psychoanalysis, Literature and War : Papers 1972-1995 Paperback / softback
by Hanna Segal
Part of the The New Library of Psychoanalysis series
Paperback / softback
Description
Many of the themes which were elaborated in Hanna Segal's earlier work return in this volume of her most recent papers.
Two act as connecting strands and give the book its unity: the clinical usefulness of the concept of the death instinct and the relationship between fantasy and reality. A past mistress at capturing the vitality of the clinical session on the page, Segal shows how the same conflicts between life and death instincts, fantasy and reality, are experienced in the consulting room, reflected in literature, and played out by nations in their attitudes to war. Edited by John Steiner, this collection of writings by a leading psychoanalytic thinker provides a rich source of clinical insights and challenging theory for all analysts practising today.
