Description: In Formulated Experiences Peter L. Rudnytsky continues his quest for a "re - vision" of psychoanalysis by coupling his revival of the unjustly neglected figure of Erich Fromm with his latest groundbreaking research on Ferenczi and Groddeck. Committed at once to a humanistic and to a literary psychoanalysis Rudnytsky explores the subjective roots of creativity and critiques the authoritarianism that has been a tragic aspect of Freud's legacy. Through his clinically informed interpretations he brings out both "hidden realities" and "emergent meanings" of the texts and authors he examines including Shakespeare's Othello and Macbeth as well as Milton's Paradise Lost. A preeminent scholar of the history and theory of psychoanalysis Rudnytsky displays an interdisciplinary expertise that makes Formulated Experiences truly sui generis and unlike any existing book. Bridging the artificial divide between the academic and clinical worlds his eloquent championing of the interpersonal and relational traditions will captivate contemporary psychoanalysts and psychotherapists while his insightful close readings provide a model for psychoanalytic literary critics.
