Description:
The past continues to operate powerfully, wordlessly, in that less conscious part of our human mind and can trip us up unexpectedly. We can perceive and respond to situations in ways which are more to do with early experiences, than the present. Though most won't ever have their own experience of psychoanalysis (or less intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy), analytic ideas and understanding can be profoundly helpful in everyday life. We can push from mind what we would rather not know. Feelings such as doubt and sadness can seem too weak; envy and anger, too bad; feeling small and in any way in need, could leave us toovulnerable. This book demonstrates how facing painful emotional disturbance can be a relief. Having some access to those more hidden parts of our human mind, we can feel more alive, more real and less likely to act out in unexpected ways. The Rough Beast:Psychoanalysis in Everyday Lifeis not a textbook. It provides an accessible guide to what, why and how psychoanalytic ideas are useful in everyday life. It is an attempt to show rather than to tell. And to offer sympathetic, but challenging, food for thought. The book will be of great interest to those readers interested in finding out what analytic ideas have to offer in making sense of themselves and, for those who wonder whether to seek out analytic help, what they might expect
