Sinossi
Attraverso una narrazione sensibile, sottile ed evocativa, Bollas attinge alla personale esperienza di lavoro con soggetti schizofrenici, iniziata negli anni Sessanta, per formulare la propria interpretazione sullo sviluppo della schizofrenia, specificamente negli adolescenti, come forma di adattamento nella difficile transizione verso l'età adulta. Con atteggiamento aperto e positivo, l'autore descrive la schizofrenia come una modalità di risposta alla precarietà di un mondo altamente imprevedibile, ricordandoci che, nei momenti di difficoltà, parlare con qualcuno che si mostri empatico nei nostri confronti ci aiuta a dipanare i più difficili dilemmi mentali ed esistenziali.

When I picked up this book, I was hoping for stories and case studies about working with schizophrenics. Part one of the book does include a variety of stories of working with children at EBAC, and some stories are scattered throughout parts 2 and 3, but a majority of the book is psychoanalytical/ c Leggi tutto
4.5/5 Moving and beautifully written.
Un libro da leggere se si è interessati ad una, oggi purtroppo inusuale, prospettiva psicoanalitica sul problema della schizofrenia.
Christopher Bollas has a restless spirit. This book traces his career from its beginnings in Oakland, California to his current residence outside Pekin, North Dakota with stops along the way in Buffalo, Stockbridge, New York, London and Rome. And telephone calls to Norway. Throughout these travels a Leggi tutto
Rich and poetic exploration of psychosis I bought this as part of self-education about schizophrenia now that a close family member has been diagnosed, and also because it was recommended by Martha Nussbaum, a brilliant philosopher. It is a great book for anyone interested in the way the mind works, Leggi tutto
