Reviews and Endorsements
Most human beings see hope as a good thing, but Anna Potamianou shows how in the 'borderline' patient it can become an omnipotent means of denying reality. She gives both clinical and literary examples of how this happens and goes on to discuss the connection between hope and desire for these patients. The psychic economy and dynamics of borderline states are not yet well understood and this book makes an important contribution to the clinical and theoretical debate.
