The Poetry of the Word in Psychoanalysis 1st Edition

Capture the subtle music at the heart of therapeutic language with The Poetry of the Word in Psychoanalysis, 1st Edition by Pere Folch Mateu. This illuminating work invites clinicians, scholars, and curious readers to reframe psychoanalytic practice through the delicate interplay of words, metaphor, and the unconscious.

Through lucid prose and careful clinical sensitivity, Mateu explores how language shapes experience, reveals desire, and opens pathways to meaning in the consulting room. Readers will find thoughtful theoretical reflections paired with practical insight—an accessible yet sophisticated bridge between classic psychoanalytic ideas and contemporary clinical realities.

Ideal for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, graduate students, and academic libraries across Europe, North America, Latin America and beyond, this volume enhances clinical listening skills and deepens understanding of language’s therapeutic role. It is particularly useful for those interested in narrative approaches, linguistic nuance, and the poetic dimensions of speech that often bypass straightforward interpretation.

Clear, engaging, and rigorously argued, The Poetry of the Word in Psychoanalysis provides both inspiration and actionable perspectives for improving practice and scholarship. Whether you are preparing for supervision, developing seminar material, or seeking fresh theoretical horizons, this first edition is an essential addition to your collection.
