Eros by Nicola Abel-Hirsch

Ideas in Psychoanalysis is a series of essays which explain psychoanalytical concepts, their relevance to everyday life and their ability to illuminate the nature of human society and culture. From love affairs to paedophilia, sex can be some of the best and some of the worst of what happens between people. How does sexual excitement relate to love and concern? Sexuality, love and feeling alive are empowered through what psychoanalysts call phantasy; but is there a difference between day-dreaming and the imaginative work involved in a relationship, a good hypothesis or a work of art?
