jeremygoodjob's review against another edition
4.0
Bollas shoots from the hip, which rocks. Where most academics use a book to support a single theory or conceit, he blasts off 10 or 15. Each chapter is a fun little ride with a theorist/English teacher who dgaf but who coins terms like “normotic” and “trisexual” and “extractive introjection” (projective identification backwards!).
I did notice my interest completely vanish after the chapter on expressive use of countertransference, maybe because the point he makes in that section meant a lot to me and there just wasn’t anything else to say. Great read.
