Overview

The Mirror of Desire: How the Unconscious Shapes Love is a profound exploration of how love emerges not from freedom, but from the hidden architectures of the unconscious. In this work, Deivede Eder Ferreira - psychoanalyst, philosopher, and writer - reveals that every bond we form carries the echo of something unspoken: the desire of the Other reflected within us. Blending the insights of Freud, Lacan, and Jung, Ferreira examines how desire, projection, and identification shape our emotional lives. Through poetic and philosophical prose, he shows how love is never just affection - it is a mirror in which we seek the image of what we have lost, feared, or longed to become. Each chapter illuminates the unconscious logic that binds attraction and suffering, passion and repetition. By uncovering the hidden dialogue between desire and lack, the book transforms psychoanalysis into a philosophy of human encounter - where knowing oneself begins in recognizing what remains unknown. Written in an elegant and lyrical style, The Mirror of Desire invites readers - psychologists, philosophers, and seekers alike - to rediscover love not as illusion, but as revelation.
