This book presents a day long symposium with Adam Phillips and includes
two brilliant essays that reveal what is at the heart of
psychoanalysis - a practice that can enable both analyst and patient to
live life more fully. The volume includes questions and commentaries
which reflect the creative and open expression supported throughout the
symposium. In this unique volume, Phillips works through psychoanalytic
theories about cure, encouraging serious consideration of those ideas
that allow the analyst and patient to marvel at and take pleasure in the
unknowable adventure ahead of them.
