This essential edition brings together a collection of classic papers from key figures in Kleinian and post-Kleinian thought that explore the relationship between psychoanalysis and art.Sandra Gosso begins with a comprehensive and fascinating guide to the history of this relationship which began with Freud and was developed further by Melanie Klein at a time when most analysts were moving away from links with art. Melanie Kleins pivotal paper; "Infantile Anxiety Situations Reflected in a Work of Art and in the Creative Impulse"; follows the Introduction. The other papers featured are mainly from British analysts who expanded on Melanie Kleins ideas; inspired by the influence of the creative Bloomsbury and Imago Groups. Members of the Imago Group; founded by Adrian Stokes; include Donald Meltzer; Wilfred Bion; Roger Money-Kyrle and Marion Milner; all of whom underwent analysis with Melanie Klein. Their interests range throughout the arts and this allows them to explore the relationship between art and psychoanalysis from varied and thought-provoking angles. The papers featured here investigate such core themes as the creative impulse; aesthetics; literature and symbol formation.This definitive volume is essential reading for students and professionals in the fields of psychoanalysis; art and cultural studies.

RumpfIf you only buy one book about designing and organizing your sewing workspace. THIS is the one you should get. I personally bought four different books. and this one is the most thorough. authoratative guide Ive come across yet. The author. who has a background in kitchen and bath design and remodeling AND sews herself (shes even written a book on serging home dec projects) walks you through absolutely everything you need to think about when you plan a new or improved sewing space. I do want to point out that Im reviewing the second edition of this book. published in 2010. not the original 1996 edition.Black gives you a handy Inventory of Needs checklist. a form for recording your body measurements for ergonomic planning purposes. and a nice overview of how to do a scale floorplan so you can work out the most efficient layout for your space. Black explains how to set up efficient U-shape and L-shape work stations to maximize efficiency. She covers how to do a full lighting plan for your space. including options for ambient. task. and accent lighting. and explains how wall and surface color choices affect how much light is reflected from surfaces -- and that wall color actually tints the light that bounces off the wall. so that you wont be able to view colors with as much accuracy in a room with pistachio green or hot pink walls. for instance. Some of my favorite specific storage ideas from this book were creating 3" deep recessed shelves between drywall studs (on interior walls) for serger thread cones and incorporating pull-out "bread board" style landing areas to the right and left of your sewing station. Ill be incorporating both of those into my own studio redesign.This book includes lots and lots of big. full-color photos of very different sewing rooms for inspiration. and includes a floor plan -- with dimensions -- for each one. In the back of the book. the author even addresses the specific needs of specialty sewers: quilters. professional dressmakers. and drapery workrooms. Whether youre blessed with a large room dedicated to your sewing or trying to make the best use of a corner or closet. this book will help you to use your space wisely and efficiently.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Continues to give me ideas....By SuZI have had this book for 3 years. and have moved once since owning it. Not only did it give me great ideas for the larger house i was in. now that I am downsized. I really have appreciated all the different configurations of sewing rooms Lynnette has highlighted. I also loved the discussion of ergonomics and lighting. something I have seen few authors address.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Help for making the most out of limited sewing spaces!By Kate I.Dream Sewing Spaces by Lynette Ranney Black is an excellent resource for planning or re-organizing your home sewing space. This book takes a look at every aspect of planning from noise level to toddler traffic and more. You will learn how to maximize your work and storage space whether it is large or small. Also included is an appendix on closet planning and use - including pantries. linen and bedroom closets. My favorite aspect of Dream Sewing Spaces was the photo tour of numerous "real life" sewing spaces and sewing rooms. Very inspiring! (this is my original "anonymous" review from April 15. 1998)
