| Summary |
To read this essential work, is to hear Coltart's powerful voice, truthful, clear-headed, sensitive, personal, whether she is writing on the man with two mothers, handling the transference, group analysis, Buddhism and psychoanalysis, the philosopher and his mind, a case of ulcerative colitis treated by psychoanalysis, termination, or "the baby and the bathwater" about what must be jettisoned (the bathwater) and what retained (the baby) in terms of ideas and practices over the course of life. She writes, "The baby is what I became, who I am, and is the source of all I have written in my three books, in and about my working life." This is a powerful testament to be read and reread by all those for whom psychoanalysis is a central source |
