In Freuds Art ndash; Psychoanalysis Retold Janet Sayers provides a refreshing new introduction to psychoanalysis by retelling its story through art. She does this by bringing together experts from psychoanalysis; art history; and art education to show how art and psychoanalysis illuminate each other. Freuds Art begins with major founders of psychoanalysis - Freud; Jung; Spielrein and Klein. It then details art-minded developments of their ideas by Adrian Stokes; Jacques Lacan; Marion Milner; Anton Ehrenzweig; Donald Winnicott; and Wilfred Bion before concluding with the recent theories of Jean Laplanche and Julia Kristeva. The result is a book which highlights the importance of psychoanalysis; together with painting and the visual arts; to understanding the centrality of visual imagery; fantasy; nightmares and dreams to all of us; artists and non-artists alike.Illustrated throughout with fascinating case histories; examples of well known and amateur art; doodles; drawings; and paintings by both analysts and their patients; Freuds Art provides a compelling account of psychoanalysis for all those studying; working in; or simply intrigued by psychology; mental health and creativity today.
