Overview

Franco Borgogno is one of the most original and profound thinkers in contemporary psychoanalysis. To listen to the stories he tells in his inimitable personal voice is to know that one has found what he himself calls Ferenczi-a 'fundamental companion' on one's own psychoanalytic journey. If, as Borgogno exemplifies, the analytic process is a 'long wave' in which one life heals another, ' to immerse oneself in the pages of his book is to undergo a transformative experience. -PETER L. RUDNYTSKY, University of Florida and Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, author of Mutual Analysis: Ferenczi, Severn, and the Origins of Trauma Theory

One Life Heals Another is an enjoyable introduction to one of the most fertile writers in contemporary psychoanalysis who deserves to be better known. The book presents itself above all as an autobiography; that is, a text where the theory, technique, and history of psychoanalysis and its institutions are inextricably entwined with personal history. Borgogno's example makes it seem more obvious than ever how important personality and disposition are in deciding what type of analyst to be. But One Life Heals Another is also a valuable handbook (its modest scale is a virtue) for starting out in a beautiful but rather complicated profession; a little Baedeker packed with ideas and full of experience and passion. For this reason I hope it will be discovered by all analysts and psychotherapists who are genuinely interested in the healing of psychic suffering. -GIUSEPPE CIVITARESE, author of Sublime Subjects: Aesthetic Experience and Intersubjectivity in Psychoanalysis
