What is it about?
The book offers an original understanding of subjectivity as it evolves through the dynamic tensions between different truths that inhabit and structure the psyche. Drawing philosophical investigation into psychoanalytic theory, the clinical endeavor is articulated in terms of unveiling these truths and realizing the multi-faceted nature of human experience.

Why is it important?
The book presents a unique and original perspective on clinical psychoanalysis, which takes the reader from the most abstract theoretical analysis to the most practical considerations of psychotherapy. It does this in a radical and original fashion and brings to light the most vital potentialities of thinking and treating in a psychoanalytic fashion.
Perspectives
I have been doing psychoanalytic psychotherapy for over twenty years and always felt that theory lags behind clinical practice. In this book, I have tried to catch up with theory and have been thrilled to discover that when theory is taken seriously, it helps promote practice over and beyond experience.
