What, in the psychoanalytic method, is related to it? Should we understand love by referring to its earliest and most primitive roots? Or should we take as our starting point the experience of the adult? He argues that while science has made no contribution to our understanding of love, art, literature and especially poetry are the best introduction to it. In Part II, Love in the Time of Madness, Gregorio Kohon provides a detailed clinical study of an individual suffering a psychotic breakdown. He describes how the exclusive as well as the intense lasting dependence to a primary carer create the conditions for a \"normal madness\" to develop. This is not only at the source of later psychotic states and the perversions but also at the origin of all forms of love, as demonstrated in its re-appearance in the situation of transference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLove and its Vicissitudes\u003c\/em\u003e moves beyond conventional psychoanalytic discourse to provide a stimulating and revealing reflection on the place of love in psychoanalytic theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Green,Gregorio Kohon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583917454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583917459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.16w x 0.44d","brand":"André Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485625528575,"sku":"9781583917459","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37eddafd-21f1-4447-9341-9e66b01e37d0.jpg?v=1778050469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-and-its-vicissitudes-andrzs-green-9781583917459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
