Recenzijas
"The psychoanalytic author takes the reader on an exciting journey to internationally renowned artists, writers and philosophers. Most of these artists and thinkers have had personal experiences with psychoanalysis, some of them for decades, and it is fascinating to experience in the dialogues how much artistic-creative and psychoanalytical processes can mutually fertilize each other. Is this an elitist undertaking? No, because in his conversations with well-known individuals, the author can demonstrate the effectiveness of psychoanalysis, which otherwise would not become visible for reasons of confidentiality. A wonderful book that deserves many readers."
