Description

In psychoanalysis, emotions have a central place, & ‘affects’ are seen as emotions which have ideas attached to them. This book examines how psychoanalysis can illuminate the emotional & affective aspects of our beings. Describes the ways in which early experience can influence our emotional capacities, & how patterns of relating become ingrained & repeated. Considers the key emotional issues in our lives, including the ways in which loss & grief are avoided. Explains the idea that some feelings are unconscious, & how emotions & thought processes are closely linked. Shows how psychoanalytic thinking enables us to tolerate a broader range of emotional experience, & consequently to enhance our capacity to accept ourselves & relate to others.
