Tracing their differences, Christopher Bollas examines how these mentalities are now converging once again, notably in the practice of psychoanalysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreating a freely associated comparison between western psychoanalysts and eastern philosophers, Bollas demonstrates how the Eastern use of poetry evolved as a collective way to house the individual self. On one hand he links this tradition to the psychoanalytic praxes of Winnicott and Khan\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003ewhich he relates to Daoism in their privileging of solitude and non verbal forms of communicating. On the other, Bollas examines how Jung, Bion and Rosenfeld\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003eassimilate the Confucian ethic that sees the individual and group mind as a collective, while Freudian psychoanalysis he argues has provided an unconscious meeting place of both viewpoints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBollas's intriguing book will be of interest to psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, Orientalists, and those concerned with cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Bollas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415669758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415669757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Christopher Bollas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086642786559,"sku":"9780415669757","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce91624a-4d8d-407a-9d64-3940baeaab96.jpg?v=1769095772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/china-on-the-mind-christopher-bollas-9780415669757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
