Boundaries and Bridges: Perspectives on Time and Space in Psychoanalysis

Author(s) : Andrea Sabbadini

Reviews and Endorsements

‘From the first page, Andrea Sabbadini offers us a unique insight into what is mysterious about psychoanalysis: “The term treatment,” he writes, “does not describe the nature of what takes place in my consulting room.” What is it then? With each chapter, I was brought closer to this mystery by allowing myself to share his experiences as a psychoanalyst. In the process, I found myself in the time–space where analysand and analyst develop together, not unlike acrobats when they dare to let go of the trapeze. Sabbadini has a very personal way of “speaking” to the readers, making them feel at home in his psychoanalytic world.’
— Jean-Michel Quinodoz, psychoanalyst and author of Reading Freud: A Chronological Exploration of Freud’s Writings

‘Elegantly written, Boundaries and Bridges moves fluently between everyday life, cultural phenomena, and the consulting room. Each page has lively examples and new ideas, all woven together into a rich and thought-provoking tapestry.’
— Michael Brearley, psychoanalyst and Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis in London

‘This wonderful book is the mature outcome of Andrea Sabbadini’s unique skill in creating new, surprising connections between theoretical thoughts, clinical observations, and cultural life. Boundaries and Bridges shows the specific capacity of a creative, harmonious, contemporary psychoanalyst, who is able to expand and integrate the richness of psychoanalysis both into, and between, the internal and external world.’
— Stefano Bolognini, President of the International Psychoanalytical Association
