Psychorealism

The Sluicegate of the Senses

About this book

This book brings Grace Pailthorpe's previously unpublished work to readers for the very first time and explores the profound impact of early childhood development on one's psychological well-being. Through her innovative concept of psychorealism, Pailthorpe offers a unique blend of art and psychoanalysis aimed at understanding and balancing the human psyche.

The book delves into the mechanisms by which infants develop fundamental psychological patterns. Pailthorpe argues that understanding these early developmental stages is crucial for addressing psychological imbalances. Psychorealism, as she defines it, involves creating art free from conscious interference, allowing for the pure expression of psychic realities. This form of automatic creativity offers fresh insights into the symbolic essence of the psyche and its influence on human behaviour. By analysing psychorealistic art, Pailthorpe illuminates the complex facets of human behaviour and provides a novel perspective on the interplay between the unconscious mind and artistic expression. Pailthorpe's research stands out for its originality and practical application. Her work not only enriches the field of psychoanalysis but also provides valuable tools for therapeutic practices.

This book is particularly useful for psychologists, art therapists, and scholars interested in the intersections of art and psychology, offering new methods for understanding and treating psychological issues through creative expression. This approach will also appeal to general readers, librarians, and booksellers with its intriguing integration of art and psychology.
