The Faculty of Education congratulates Dr. Dana Amir, the Department of Counseling and Human Development on the recent English translation of her book "On the Lyricism of the Mind" by Routledge Publishing. The book was originally published in Hebrew on 2008 by Magnes.
About the Book
On the Lyricism of the Mind: Psychoanalysis and Literature explores the lyrical dimension (or the lyricism) of the psychic space. It is not presented as an artistic disposition, but rather as a universal psychic quality which enables the recovery and recuperation of the self. The specific nature of human lyricism is defined as the interaction as well as the integration of two psychic modes of experience originally defined by the psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion: The emergent and the continuous principles of the self.
