Communication Without Words

Silent Child

This book arose out of the need to work with emotionally regressed non-talking children who entered hospital in full retreat from the external world. It helps parents and professionals compassionately comprehend the child's difficulties in depending on someone to receive communication.

Communication without Words

The Silent Child

Murray Jackson

En este estudio, Jeanne Magagna recupera y contextualiza diversos trabajos inéditos del psiquiatra y psicoanalista Murray Jackson, que ponen de manifiesto la fuente de creatividad que proporcionan las experiencias emocionales y ahondan en la naturaleza de los estados psicóticos, analizando de qué modo influencian y obstaculizan el proceso creativo. El objetivo de Jackson y Magagna es ilustrar cómo el pensamiento psicoanalítico puede ser relevante para los individuos con estados mentales psicóticos, y para ello indagan y describen las personalidades de cuatro individuos creativos con un talento y dones excepcionales: Vincent van Gogh, Vaslav Nijinsky, José Saramago y John Nash. En el texto se tratan temas como el amor y la pérdida, el duelo y los estados maníacos, la creación como proceso de reparación de un sentido de daño interno y el uso de la creatividad como método para comprenderse o huir de uno mismo. El libro finaliza con un glosario de conceptos psicoanalíticos muy práctico. Este libro será una lectura fascinante tanto para psiquiatras, psicoterapeutas y psicoanalistas, como para otros profesionales instruidos en el área del psicoanálisis, estudiantes y cualquier persona interesada en la relación entre creatividad y psicosis.
