Product Description

Review
"Being a Character explores the subject of self-knowledge and the individuals' construction of meaning in their lives. It is always stimulating, particularly through the author's use of his own self-experience. This book is well worth reading by anyone involved in psychotherapy or related work. Indeed, it could fruitfully be read by a much wider audience." - Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Product Description
Taking Freud's model of dreamwork as a model for all unconscious thinking, Bollas argues that we dreamwork ourselves into becoming who we are. He illustrates how patient and analyst can use such unconscious processes to alter self experience.
