At once a memoir and a personal version of the author’s highly influential Language of Psychoanalysis, this work by one of the world’s leading proponents of psychoanalytic theory and practice offers an autobiographical perspective on the private "vocabularies" that develop between analyst and patient. Because our ways of understanding the world are mediated by our use of language, J.-B. Pontalis suggests that a close look at our private lexicon can uncover a great deal about what we value. Beginning with one of his own linguistic preoccupations, the metaphor of the window, Pontalis considers language as a vehicle for both self-awareness and self-deception; he explores how we choose or eschew certain words to create our life-stories and demonstrates how these words conceal—and reveal—our most intimate preoccupations and desires. biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,contemporary,criticism and theory,essays,essays and correspondence,foreign language fiction,health fitness and dieting Health, Fitness & Dieting, University of Nebraska Press<
