The Authority of Tenderness: Dignity and the True Self in Psychoanalysis - Paul Williams

Descriere The Authority of Tenderness: Dignity and the True Self in Psychoanalysis - Paul Williams

\n \nThis insightful and beautifully written work explores nonlinear processes of recovery of the loss of Self. The inherent healing power of hard-earned, wholehearted self-acceptance is conceived through the authority of tenderness. \n \nThe book is the final volume in The Fifth Principle trilogy (the second book being Scum), which chronicled, through the course of one boy's lifetime, the methods of a mind which is not a mind, in its efforts to prevail under oppressive circumstances. The Authority of Tenderness comes at the end of the journey, is written by the adult self of the child, and uses poetic vignettes, references to foundational psychoanalytic literature and analyses of critical treatment situations to convey the experiences of someone who has been both patient and analyst.\n \nThe book offers a vivid psychotherapeutic perspective for clinicians, trainees, students and general readers alike.\n
