Arabella Kurtz and J.M. Coetzee consider psychotherapy and its wider social context from different perspectives, but at the heart of both their approaches is a concern with stories. Working alone, the writer is in sole charge of the story he or she tells. The therapist, on the other hand, collaborates with the patient in telling the story of their life. The authors discuss both individual psychology and the psychology of the group: the school classroom, the gang, the settler nation where the brutal deeds of the ancestors have to be accommodated into a national story. Drawing on great writers like Cervantes and Dostoevsky and on psychoanalysts like Freud and Melanie Klein, they offer illuminating insights into the stories we tell of our lives. 650 0 $a Psychotherapy. 650 0 $a Psychotherapy and literature. 700 1 $a Kurtz, Arabella, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091209.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151029010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58EB40BE7E0211E58199AFE0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
