Product Description
Review
"This book is a lively, engaging, original account of several themes in the relationship between psychoanalytic technique, and the theory of art" Susan Budd, Member, The British Psychoanalytical Society.
Product Description
In "Freud's Art -- Psychoanalysis Retold", Janet Sayers provides a refreshing new introduction to psychoanalysis by retelling its story through art. She does this by bringing together experts from psychoanalysis, art history and art education to show how art and psychoanalysis illuminate each other. "Freud's Art" begins with major founders of psychoanalysis - Freud, Jung Spielrein and Klein. It then details art-minded developments of their ideas by Adrian Stokes, Jacques Lacan, Marion Milner, Anton Ehrenzweig, Donald Winnicott, and Wilfred Bion before concluding with the recent theories of Jean Laplanche and Julia Kristeva. The result is a book which highlights the importance of psychoanalysis, together with painting and the visual arts, to understanding the centrality of visual imagery, fantasy, nightmares and dreams to all of us, artists and non-artists alike. Illustrated throughout with fascinating case histories, examples of well known and amateur art, doodles, drawings, and paintings by both analysts and their patients, "Freud's Art" provides a compelling account of psychoanalysis for all those studying, working in, or simply intrigued by psychology, mental health and creativity today.

"Many psychotherapists dabble in one or other of the arts, but few of us show the command of two disciplines that Sayers displays in this rich and thoughtful book. Highly recommended." - Brendan McMahon, Mental Health Today, December 2007
