The Cure for Psychoanalysis
In two brilliant essays, Adam Phillips reveals what is at the heart of psychoanalysis - how it can enable both analyst and patient to live more fully, more creatively. In addition to the essays are creative and openly expressed questions and commentaries, plus an interview, inspired by one of the foremost thinkers in the field of psychoanalysis. The book presents a day-long symposium with Adam Phillips and includes additional contributions from John Bliss, Patricia Ticineto Clough, Edward Corrigan, Holly Levenkron, Kathleen DelMar Miller, Thomas Rini, Ron Taffel, Betty P. Teng, Karen Weiser, and Melissa White Gomez.

Praise for this book
"We know Adam Phillips to be a remarkable writer but in this wonderfully spirited book we discover he is also an endlessly interesting conversationalist....we are privy to dialogue as a form of performance art. There is genius here; there is good humor; there is joy. It doesn't get better than this." Christopher Bollas, psychoanalyst, and author of Meaning and Melancholia and The Shadow of the Object"The book's call and response format, the supple back and
forth movement between Phillips and his audience ... serves as an ideal
introduction to a by now forbiddingly expansive and continually expanding body
of work ... succeeds in reaching into the heart of his thinking to give us its
fundamental questions and stakes, especially when it comes to our clinical
practice: Why do we bother with psychoanalysis? How does it serve the aim of
ensuring life is worth the effort?" - British Journal of Psychotherapy
