Cracking Up: The Work of Unconscious Experience

By Christopher Bollas and Bollas Christop

Book Overview

The distinguished psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas here extends his exploration of the inner world of human experience. Taking Freud's vision of the dream process as a model for all unconscious mental experience, he suggests that the rhythm of that experience--in which we respond to everyday moments of psychic intensity by breaking them up into their constituent factors (remembered, bodily, instinctual) that we then recombine in a new understanding--is vital to individual creativity and freedom.
