About this product
Product Information
A fascinating dialogue on the human inclination to make up stories between a Nobel Prize-winning writer and a psychotherapist. Arabella Kurtz and J. M. Coetzee consider psychotherapy and its wider social context from different perspectives, but at the heart of both their approaches is a concern with stories. Working alone, the writer is in sole charge of the story he or she tells. The therapist, on the other hand, collaborates with the patient in telling the story of their life. What kind of truth do the stories created by patient and therapist aim to uncover- objective truth or the shifting and subjective truth of memories explored and re-experienced in the safety of the therapeutic relationship? The authors discuss both individual psychology and the psychology of the group- the school classroom, the gang, the settler nation where the brutal deeds of the ancestors have to be accommodated into a national story. Drawing on great writers like Cervantes and Dostoevsky and on psychoanalysts like Freud and Melanie Klein, they offer illuminating insights into the stories we tell of our lives.

- 7***s (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThis seller is a dream to shop from. She was extremely obliging with my requests, went above and beyond to make sure I was pleased with my purchase, and didn't waste time in posting my order (which was fully trackable). She also regularly updated me about any developments in my order. I received my book today, in an even better condition than the pictures showed, and as assured to me by the seller – super carefully packed. I can't recommend this seller enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Way to go!When You Reach Me ~ Rebecca Stead. 1st HbDj 2009 NEWBERY Winner UNread in MELB (#300709036810)
