Proprio bello e chiaro. Ovviamente, una buona base di studi psicologici semplifica la lettura, ma Holmes e' bravo quanto basta nell'essere attento ai passaggi logici e sufficientemente distante dalla ammirazione acritica per scrivere un testo completo ed onesto sull'uomo e sullo scienziato che Bowlby e' stato.
In the first collection of his essays to be published, Jeremy Holmes discusses the wider application of psychotherapy within psychiatry and suggests that psychoanalysis needs to escape from its esotericism by taking into account contemporary advances in cognitive science, family therapy and the realities of psychiatric work in a public health setting. Illustrating his arguments with literary as well as clinical examples, he emphasizes the importance of creativity in psychotherapy and the show more connections between the artistic and psychotherapeutic impulse. show less
