Synopsis
What happens when we lose someone we love? A death, a separation or the break-up of a relationship are some of the hardest times we have to live through. We may fall into a nightmare of depression, lose the will to live and see no hope for the future. What matters at this crucial point is whether or not we are able to mourn.
In this important and groundbreaking book, acclaimed psychoanalyst and writer Darian Leader urges us to look beyond the catch-all concept of depression to explore the deeper, unconscious ways in which we respond to the experience of loss. In so doing, we can loosen the grip it may have upon our lives.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Leader, Darian. The new black : mourning, melancholia and depression. First edition. London: Hamish Hamilton, 2008. Hardback, VG+ in unclipped dustjacket. Black cloth with copper lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. 223pp., contents clean and bright. "Darian Leader's short, provocative and fascinating book casts doubt on the very term "depression". It is too flat, too ubiquitous, and it is the invention, he says, of the modern drugs industry, which has both described the problem and prescribed the solution. Modern "depression" is like sin in the medieval church, a self-validating money-spinner. Leader prefers the older, more complex ideas of mourning and melancholia, and his book is a Freud-inflected study of human loss and how we incorporate it, how we shape ourselves around it. The person who is in mourning knows, more or less, what he has lost: his wife, his job, the argument he's been conducting all his life. The melancholic cannot easily name what's missing. When we are bereaved we lose ourselves, forfeit our identities, as it may be, as wife or daughter or sister. It is a simple point, but one often forgotten in dealing with those whom loss has invaded and deformed. The melancholic person has lost self-regard; he can no longer see his own shape" (The Guardian). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
