When you dig deeper, you can understand more of what the people who create the film intend to convey. With this book, Anita is giving people a crash course. The movie is not finished just because you leave the theater. You are still thinking about it, and there are always new references and things to discover. The dots are there, you just have to connect them.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Banksy, (artist)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Preface by the author: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Saturday during my teens, I went to the movies by myself where I was transported into another world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile walking home, I was immersed in the movie I had just seen, often identifying with one of the characters. I continued to remain in the world of the movie for many hours, during supper, and until I went to sleep. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not surprising that my interest in movies foretold my chosen profession as a psychoanalyst. I observe and listen to people and try to understand them on a deeper level. Understanding people, their motivations, dilemmas, hopes, desires, and fears, are so often the subject of the movies that intrigue me. The difference is in my role as psychotherapist I will have an impact on the course of their life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movies I've chosen to include in this book have enlightened, impressed, moved and entertained me. Some of them are disturbing but deal with important issues of being human. I have tried to represent the totality of the human experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriting this book has been a journey much like working with someone in psychotherapy. The exceptional power of movies has helped me to go deeper into understanding the human condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI share my journey in writing this book with all who are interested in understanding what movies mean to them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51059482886417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51059485606161,"sku":"NIN9781949093919","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531691454737,"sku":"NLS9781949093919","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1949093913.jpg?v=1751124833"},{"product_id":"psychoanalysis-in-fashion-book-anita-weinreb-katz-9780998532363","title":"Psychoanalysis in Fashion","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsychoanalysis in Fashion, the editors have assembled a series of riveting essays that span a broad range of connections between the unconscious mind and its expression in the dressing and adornment of the self. Fashion trends, hairdos, jewelry, and even cross-dressing are all fair game for the book's bold expositions and intriguing ideas. Conscious and unconscious fantasies play large roles in dressing up, which itself shapes, expresses, and even conceals portions of identity. Ultimately, we are shown how we banish the animal body while cloaking ourselves in cultural glory.\u003cbr\u003e Danielle Knafo, Author, \u003cem\u003eDancing with the Unconscious and The Age of Perversion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychoanalysis and Fashion is a much needed contribution to the psychoanalytic literature on the body, particularly the body as looked at. Katz and Richards and their co-authors have us think about the body and its accoutrements from psychodynamic, interpersonal and sociological perspectives. Clothing, as well as jewelry, hair styles, tattoos reveal, as well as conceal, social status, gender identity and sexual availability. It is a page-turner: delightful, delicious, at times personal while being scholarly. It covers the myriad complex aspects that make up a fashion identity.\u003cbr\u003e Janice Liebermanm Author, \u003cem\u003eBody Talk: Looking and Being Looked at in Psychotherapy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51334199804177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334201999633,"sku":"CIN0998532363G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123211530513,"sku":"NLS9780998532363","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734184423697,"sku":"NIN9780998532363","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0998532363.jpg?v=1751013383"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-anita-weinreb-katz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
