In doing so, he offers radical new visions of the scope of psychoanalysis and expands our understanding of the creativity of the unconscious mind and the aesthetics of human character.„ÄÄ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring our formative years, we are continually \"impressed\" by the object world. Most of this experience will never be consciously thought, and but it resides within us as assumed knowledge. Bollas has termed this \"the unthought known\", a phrase that has ramified through many realms of human exploration, including the worlds of letters, psychology and the arts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAspects of the unthought known --the primary repressed unconscious --will emerge during a psychoanalysis, as a mood, the aesthetic of a dream, or in our relation to the self as other. Within the unique analytic relationship, it becomes possible, at least in part, to think the unthought -- an experience that has enormous transformative potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished here with a new preface by Christopher Bollas, \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow of the Object\u003c\/i\u003e remains a classic of the psychoanalytic literature, written by a truly original thinker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Bollas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51087910535510,"sku":"9781138218444","price":33.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781138218444.jpg?v=1755607499","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.fi\/products\/shadow-of-the-object-9781138218444","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
