‘Psychoanalyst and researcher Dana Amir’s book Psychoanalysis as Radical Hospitality is another layer in her groundbreaking thinking on the interface between language and the human psyche. The book describes in an extraordinary way deep and complex clinical material and human phenomena, extracting original and crystal- clear insights, which in combination with the wide cultural range on which Amir relies and her poetic articulation– presents a unique, exciting, and cautionary reading of mentallinguistic psychopathology.’

 Prof. Merav Roth, psychoanalyst and cultural researcher, the Israeli Psychoanalytic Society; University of Haifa; Former chair of the psychoanalytic psychotherapy program, Tel- Aviv University ‘The present book fits well with the central principle in Amir’s thought. In the unique psychoanalytic type that she developed, which can be called “scientific- poetic,” she examines what enables psychic movement versus what blocks, fetters, and limits it. Hence the main goal of the psychoanalytic

treatment: enable the creation of a space where broad waves exist over large surfaces of sound and rhythm, rich in possibilities and meanings.’
