Praise for Bollas' previous publications:
'A unique and remarkable book! one of the most interesting and important new books on psychoanalysis! in the last decade.' - International Journal of Psychoanalysis
'There is much in this book that is wise, clinically perceptive, and thought-provoking.' - Psychoanalytic Quarterly
'A very creative illustration of his work with patients as well as ideas.' - American Journal of Psychiatry
'I appreciate Bollas ability and courage - and I would say lust - to cross the borders into different fields in a creative and playful way and to see art, creativity, and spirituality as a prerequisite for compassionate living. Universe expands!' - International Forum of Psychoanalysis
'In an era of considerable redundancy in the psychoanalytic literature, Christopher Bollas continues to be a fresh voice!The originality of the author's content is matched by his unique and evocative prose style.' - Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
'These thoughtful essays urge us to deepen our wisdom about the human condition and the endeavor of psychoanalysis. Bollas leads the analytic debate into the realm of reverie, and he succeeds brilliantly in extracting from our elusive subjectivity a compassionate grasp of how we may, or may not, connect with one another.' - Modern Psychoanalysis
'Bollas will take you on a journey that you will not soon forget.' - American Journal of Psychotherapy
