This insightful book critically reviews and presents an accessible introduction to the life and work of one of the most celebrated modern psychoanalysts, Michael Eigen.
With work spanning over five decades, countless articles, and thirty published book volumes, Daws explores Eigen's main works through key themes and concepts such as working with our psychotic core, psychic deadness, primary affects, and the need for spirituality for practicing psychoanalysts. The book covers Eigen's early life and formative clinical years, explores his re-reading of Freud, Jung and Lacan, and lastly covers Eigen's Seoul seminars, the impact of trauma, the importance of faith and the use of Kabbalah as a framework for analysis.
This book will not only engage the first-time Eigen reader, but will also be of much interest to the experienced psychologist and psychoanalyst already familiar with Eigen's work.
