Book, Psychoanalytic writings on literature and art[LS]

Psychoanalytic Writings on Literature and Art' continues the publication in Portuguese, by Editora Perspectiva, of Georg Groddeck's main works. In the essays gathered here, this precursor of psychoanalysis and psychosomatic medicine directs his reflection not only to the topics set out in the title, but also to questions linked to the nature of language and symbols. Written in a fluent style, with objective precision, wealth of information and aesthetic sensitivity, these texts belong to that line of thought, like that of Freud, which opened new dimensions for the analysis and understanding of the creative work of artists, especially in its aspects modern.
