The Hour of Birth

To explore the impact of psychoanalytic ideas and contemporary visual artists upon each other, this volume examines the aesthetics of the sublime as an allegory for psychic birth. This book will appeal to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in art and questions of psychic development.
