Psychoanalysis and Literature : The Stories We Live

Marilyn Charles is noted for her efforts to translate dense psychoanalytic terms into language that is accessible and clinically relevant. In Psychoanalysis, Literature, and Life: The Stories We Live, she pairs case vignettes with examples from literature to highlight essential human struggles that play out in the consulting room. This pairing de-pathologizes those struggles and offers a conceptual framework that can help the clinician facilitate these journeys of discovery.
