Review:
'He writes compellingly... Because he loves literature and plainly loves writing too, Adam Phillips makes psychoanalysis plausible to the outsider. By questioning its aims and qualifying its claims, he reduces its scientific pretensions but makes it a lot more credible as therapy.' Christian Tyler, Financial Times; 'A brilliant collection of essays around the subjects in which Phillips excels.' Melvyn Bragg, Observer
Book Description:
In Promises, Promises, Adam Phillips proves once again his virtuoso talent for working profound insights around psychoanalytic theory and literature in to entertaining, accessible essays on being alive in our time.
