This book contains two brilliant essays by one of the foremost thinkers in the field of psychoanalysis. In the first essay, ' The Magic of Winnicott,' Adam Phillips makes clear the subtlety and wisdom of Winnicott' s concept of play. In ' The Cure for Psychoanalysis' he works through psychoanalytic theories about cure and instructs us to take most seriously those that free the analyst and patient to wonder and to take pleasure in the unknowable adventure ahead of them. These two thought-provoking writings frame a discussion between the author and Edward Corrigan, analyst and friend, which offers an intimate portrait of two analysts in conversation, thoughtfully reflecting on traditions that inform Phillips' practice and prolific works. This record of ' A Day with Adam Phillips' at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in New York includes questions and commentaries which demonstrate the creative and open expression encouraged by and reflected in the practice of psychoanalysis itself.
"We know Adam Phillips to be a remarkable writer but in this wonderfully spirited book we discover he is also an endlessly interesting conversationalist. . . . we are privy to dialogue as a form of performance art. There is genius here; there is good humor; there is joy. It doesn' t get better than this. " -Christopher Bollas, psychoanalyst, and author of Meaning and Melancholia and The Shadow of the Object
