'... The Taming of Solitude (La Solitude Approivsee) is an important
work, not only because it provides a precise presentation of the subject
and of the existing views on it ... but also because it shows us a
psychoanalyst at work, with his concepts, hopes, difficulties and - in a
fascinating parallel to the subject of the book - his creative solitude
...'
J
Manzano, Psychoanalysis in Europe
'... the author
proposes that we reflect on the precious concept of 'buoyancy' ('portance')
which he has created to describe the state of the patient who has
sufficiently internalized the capacity of the analyst to carry him so
that he is able to start carrying himself on his own ... This is a
fundamental condition for the taming of solitude and loneliness so that
the analysis can leave not only the analyst but also the analysis, and
can transfer the experience he has obtained from analysis to his own
life ... This is what this beautiful book teaches us.'
Cleopatre Athanassiou, Rev. Franc. Psychoanal
