The author takes into account the various influences which shape the psychoanalytic voice, drawing on literature, philosophy and sociology as well as analytic ideas. Subjects covered include: aspects of consciousness – one voice or many? handling the dual aspect of the transference bearing the unbearable – working with the abused mind the internal drama – psychoanalysis and the theatre a psychoanalyst in the family court.
