Psychoanalytic Objects Near and Far: Talking Cure

Author(s) : Eran Rolnik

Reviews and Endorsements

This book was written by a clinician who is, at the same time, a historian of psychoanalysis and one of the most brilliant thinkers in political psychoanalytic thought. Its chapters, which draw from broad and rich worlds of thought and culture, bear the stamp of the unique historical moment they were written alongside the stamp of generations of psychoanalytic thinking: the immediacy and freshness of free associations alongside uncompromising theoretical and clinical rigor.
This is the literary journey of a writer who is, first and foremost, a reader. Therefore, his writing is always a fascinating correspondence, both with the generations that preceded him and with the generations to come. I can't think of a more crucial or enjoyable book through which one can truly recognize the value of psychoanalysis.

Eran Rolnik builds upon his previous creative and innovative writings and sustains his unique voice and perspective in this new—searching and visionary—work.

I have been familiar with Eran Rolnik’s important contributions to psychoanalysis since reading his 2008 paper about Paula Heimann’s analysis. In addition to this early writing, Rolnik treats the reader to his impressive breadth of knowledge that includes his wonderful 2012 book, Freud in Zion: Psychoanalysis and the Making of Modern Jewish Identity. His new book, Psychoanalytic Objects Near and Far:Talking Cure introduces the reader to Rolnik’s skills as a practicing psychoanalyst, teacher, historian, and creative clinician and to his skillful analytic treatment. This is an engaging work that analytic clinicians and thinkers will surely find fascinating and relevant to current analytic thinking.
