Psychoanalytic Reflections on Writing, Cinema and the Arts : Facing Beauty and Loss PDF
by Paola (private practice, Bologna, Italy) Golinelli
Part of the The International Psychoanalytical Association Psychoanalytic Ideas and Applications Series series
Description
"Why are we so fascinated by beauty?" is a question many of us have asked ourselves, as have many who came before us.
This book investigates the moment of ecstatic solitude in which everyone can experience emotions through films, works of art or natural phenomenon, when, even if for a "magic" instant, we feel "alive" and masters of our own Self. Expanding from the author’s personal experience, this book is a series of applied psychoanalytic essays on film, literature, and aesthetic pleasure.
It explores the complexity of loss and mourning, destructivity, perversion, and revenge, as well as an exploration of what can facilitate transformation and how to lead a blocked healing process back to motion. This fascinating and insightful book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychologists, teachers and students, and all those with an interest in psychoanalysis and the arts.
