An eye-opening exploration of the symbiotic relationship between psychoanalysis and literature. Joachim Kuchenhoff takes a bidirectional transdisciplinary approach to connect literature and literary criticism with psychoanalysis, investigating how the two realms can interact with one another to produce a richer experience of each.
The book presents an innovative factor model that integrates theoretical and therapeutic approaches to psychotic illnesses, developed by psychoanalytic clinicians and scholars. It emphasizes the assessment of psychodynamic dimensions, enhancing the understanding and diagnosis of psychotic disorders. This comprehensive framework aims to bridge gaps in current psychoanalytic practices and provides a structured way to evaluate the complexities of psychosis.
