About this book
Artists, Writers and Philosophers on Psychoanalysis presents eclectic interviews with leading figures in their fields, focusing on the impact psychoanalysis has had on their lives and work, and the place of psychoanalysis within culture.
Mariano Horenstein's intimate discussions with figures including Hanif Kureishi, Anish Kapoor, David Cronenberg, and Slavoj Žižek—among many others—bring insight from the therapeutic space to bear on their broader experiences. The first-person testimonies presented here delve into the links between life, art, and psychoanalytic experience, shedding new light on their work. Bringing together interviews with artists and intellectuals from the vibrant fields of cinema, music, visual art, and architecture, Artists, Writers and Philosophers on Psychoanalysis identifies the common psychoanalytic thread between them.
This book provides fascinating insight for anyone interested in interactions between psychoanalysis and the arts. It will also be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies and interdisciplinary studies.
