Table of ContentsTruth And Psychic Change: In Place Of An Introduction; On Three Types Of Thinking: Magical Thinking, Dream Thinking And Transformative Thinking; Fear Of Breakdown And The Unlived Life; Intuiting The Truth Of What’s Happening: On Bion’s ‘Notes On Memory And Desire’; On Becoming A Psychoanalyst; Dark Ironies Of The ‘Gift’ Of Consciousness: Kafka’s ‘A Hunger Artist’; A Life Of Letters Encompassing Everything And Nothing: Borges’s ‘Library Of Babel’; A Conversation With Thomas Ogden.ReviewsLike all great writers, Thomas Ogden creates a world that seems wonderfully new and yet also familiar: a world in which we discover that we had resources of humanity in us that we did not know existed. Reading his texts and letting ourselves be read by them, we live the intense and gratifying experience of feeling more alive and more human. This is why I have always thought that the extremely beautiful and original works which have been his gifts to us for years, are not only a matchless contribution to the development of psychoanalysis, and not only ensure that it remains something worthy of our lifelong passion, but go far beyond psychoanalysis. Reclaiming Unlived Lives: Experiences in Psychoanalysis is simply further testimony to Ogden's incredible creativity. From chapter to chapter his unmistakable voice leads us with gentleness and wisdom to confront essential topics such as truth, dream-thought, missing forms of life, the aesthetic experience in the session, Borges and Kafka, the interface between literature and psychoanalysis. A delightful conversation with Luca di Donna ends the book. It is easy to foresee this work remaining a classic of psychoanalysis. -Giuseppe Civitarese, editor of the Journal of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. In this extraordinary book, the reader is reminded of what a privilege it is to be a psychoanalyst. While the writings of Thomas Ogden have always illustrated that he is a master theoretician, in this volume he captures the humanity of the analyst as well. He emphasizes that the analytic setting offers a rare opportunity for the patient--namely, to be in the presence of someone who is intensely devoted to hearing the patient's voice in all its uniqueness. As that voice emerges, the analyst then engages in a form of conversation that could only occur between the two participants at this particular time of their lives in this particular setting. Ogden's approach is steeped in a profound respect for who the patient is and who the patient may become. In this regard he paves the way for all of us in this field to help the patient reclaim an unlived life through a form of conversation that is like no other. In the process of this journey, he sheds light on the work of Bion, Kafka, and Borges, interweaving the literary with the psychoanalytic, and he provides a detailed exploration of three types of thinking relevant to the analytic enterprise. Ogden's frank reflections on his evolution as an analyst is nothing short of inspiring. This new contribution is a 'must read' for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic therapists. -Glen O. Gabbard, MD, author of Love and Hate in the Analytic Setting and Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis.

It is easy to foresee this work remaining a classic of psychoanalysis. -Giuseppe Civitarese, editor of the Journal of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. Thomas Ogden is one of the most highly esteemed analytic thinkers writing today. His writing is unique, at once lucid and profound. In this extraordinary new book, he offers a rare opportunity to accompany him as he reinvents psychoanalysis with each of his patients. Joining Ogden in this new venture is an opportunity not to be missed by psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic therapists seeking to deepen the way they think about their work and the experiences they have with their patients. -Glen O. Gabbard, MD, author of Love and Hate in the Analytic Setting and Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis. Author InformationThomas H.
