The Shadow of the Object: Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known

In The Shadow of the Object, Christopher Bollas integrates aspects of Freud's theory of unconscious thinking with elements from the British Object Relations School. In doing so, he offers radical new visions of the scope of psychoanalysis and expands our understanding of the creativity of the unconscious mind and the aesthetics of human character. Published here with a new preface by Bollas, The Shadow of the Object remains a classic of the psychoanalytic literature, written by a truly original thinker.
