Book Announcement by Michael Eigen, Ken Fuchsman and Keri S. Cohen (all USA)
Beginning with Michael Eigen’s new essay, “Rebirth: It’s Been Around a Long Time,” this new Routledge title co-edited by Ken Fuchsman and Keri S. Cohen collects essays by and about the distinguished psychoanalyst, an influential innovator within and beyond psychoanalysis. Drawing on the ideas of Bion, Winnicott, Kabbalah and various artists, Eigen’s work is noted for fusing spirituality with psychoanalysis and for his extraordinary creativity.
The essays survey a rich array of subjects and reflections, with many clinical examples as well as applications to domains beyond psychotherapy. Featuring such titles as “Healing Longing in the Midst of Damage: Eigen’s Psychoanalytic Vision” and “Breakdown and Recovery: Going Berserk and Other Rhythmic Concerns,” Fuchsman and Cohen’s collection includes contributions by a number of IARPP members: Robin Bagai, Alitta Kulman, Willow Pearson, Louis Rothschild, and of course Eigen himself.
This celebration of Michael Eigen will likely fascinate any analyst interested in his work.
