Evening Sessions with Dr Priestly
http://www.eveningsessions.com/
Written by an analysand, EVENING SESSIONS WITH DR PRIESTLY is a vivid portrait not only of the transforming experience psychoanalysis can be but also of the connection between personal and universal myths. Bringing the reader into the dreams and sessions of a patient who begins as dreamless and spiritually lacking, the work reveals how in the course of treatment, the patient is able to to dream a sequence of sometimes breathtaking archetypal dreams. The imagery of her dreams and visions---with its unusual twist on Exodus and Passover, the binding of Isaac, the story of Jacob and the Angel, Rachel and the stolen idols, and the crucifixion/resurrection of Jesus-- offers the patient a transcendent parallel narrative to her own exile from self and her ultimate coming into being.
