‘The Cure for Psychoanalysis’ presents a day long symposium with Adam Phillips and includes two brilliant essays that reveal what is at the heart of psychoanalysis - a practice that can enable both analyst and patient to live life more fully. The volume includes questions and commentaries which reflect the creative and open expression supported throughout the symposium. In this unique volume, Phillips works through psychoanalytic theories about cure, encouraging serious consideration of those ideas that allow the analyst and patient to marvel at and take pleasure in the unknowable adventure ahead of them.

Something I struggle to understand is why so many in traditional psychoanalysis/psychotherapy still read out a paper in 2021. It needs to be a presentation.
