Adam Phillips est un psychothérapeute et essayiste britannique dont l'œuvre explore les complexités de l'esprit humain et sa relation avec le corps. Il aborde la psychanalyse avec une sensibilité littéraire, la considérant comme intrinsèquement liée à la poésie plutôt qu'à la médecine. Les essais de Phillips sont célébrés pour leur esprit vif et leurs aperçus à la fois troublants et profonds sur des thèmes tels que le désir, le doute et la subjectivité. Son style d'écriture distinctif, souvent comparé à celui de figures littéraires éminentes, offre aux lecteurs une exploration unique et captivante de la vie intérieure.
Réunit Darwin et Freud pour transmettre un message essentiel. Le grand évolutionniste avec son étude des lombrics, ou le père de la psychanalyse devant sa propre mort, tous deux affirment d'une seule voix que le sens de la vie réside dans sa limite. C'est bien parce que la vie est limitée par l'horizon de la mort que nous l'aimons

Becoming Freud is the story of the young Freud up until the age of fifty that incorporates all of Freud's many misgivings about the art of biography. Freud invented a psychological treatment that involved the telling and revising of life stories, but he was himself skeptical of the writing of such stories. In this biography, Adam Phillips, whom the New Yorker calls "Britain's foremost psychoanalytical writer," emphasizes the largely and inevitably undocumented story of Freud's earliest years as the oldest and favored son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and suggests that the psychoanalysis Freud invented was, among many other things, a psychology of the immigrant increasingly, of course, everybody's status in the modern world

Has psychoanalysis failed to keep its promise? What are psychoanalysis and literature good for? And what, if anything, have they got to do with each other? Promises, Promises is a delightful new collection of essays which sets out to make and break the links between psychoanalysis and literature. It confirms Adam Phillips as a virtuoso performer able to reach far beyond the borders of psychoanalytic discourse into art, drama, poetry and history. This collection gives us insights into anorexia and cloning, the work of Tom Stoppard and A.E. Housman, the effect of the Blitz on Londoners, Nijinsky's diary and Martin Amis's Night Train, and provides a case history of clutter. In a final essay, the author turns to the question - why sign up for analysis when you could read a book? Promoting everywhere a refreshing version of a psychoanalysis that is more committed to happiness and inspiration than to self-knowledge or some absolute truth, Promises, Promises reaffirms Adam Phillips as a writer whose work, in the words of one reviewer, 'hovers in a strange and haunting borderland between rigour and delight.'
