Why Read Ogden? is a compilation of papers that offers a scholarly assessment of Thomas Ogden's contributions to psychoanalysis in many aspects and through different angles. It is written and edited by leading Brazilian academics psychoanalysts and addresses not only Ogden’s work but also the way through which he reads classic authors of psychoanalysis such as Freud, Klein, Bion and Winnicott. Ogden’s writing never tries to merely explain a concept and never seeks to be revered: he invites the reader to think alongside him and reinvent psychoanalysis as a whole for him or herself. I was going to say that Ogden's work is vast, but it would be more accurate to say that the experience of being in the world with someone else, of living a shared story in a consulting room, is vast. Ogden is an explorer of this vastness.
