The Privacy of the Self

Overview

"The Privacy of the Self was the first collection of papers showing the development of the author's thinking over twenty five years of clinical work. He was nurtured in the tradition of Anna Freud, John Rickman and D.W. Winnicott, but his contribution to psychoanalytic literature was a distinctive and personal one. What emerges from this book is the natural and private crystallization of his experiences with his patients and teachers.As he says in his preface: ""Psychoanalysis is an extremely private discipline of sensibility and skill. The practice of psychoanalysis multiplies this privacy into a specialized relationship between two persons, who through the very nature of their exclusivity with each other change each other. The first thing I wish to say about my work reported in these papers is that my patients have helped me become and personalize my potential of thought, affectivity and effort into a way of life that I find deeply satisfying."

Reviews

Khan's erudition is of a very special kind.He puts his finger on the pulse of the dilemma, crisis or illness of our time, our wish and need to preserve our unique individual selves and our no less urgent wish and need for living in a community with others. --Paula Heimann International Journal of Psycho-Analysis Masud Khan, a psychoanalyst who is renowned for both vivacity and learning....demonstrates his own ability to reach (those characters whom psychiatrists label 'schizoid') and provides a theoretical framework which will be of value to others engaged on the same quest. --Anthony Storr Times Literary Supplement
