Sample text
So, to conclude: what are books, and why do they matter? A book is a friend, companion, whiler away of time, transporter to another world, a bridge across geography and history, a refuge from the rigours of work, not to mention a possible bed prop and aid to deportment. To use Winnicott’s term, a book is transitional: an inanimate object, a set of arbitrary marks on a piece of pulped wood, yet one that has a life of its own. Reading is a key that simultaneously opens up our own inner world and that of others.

An ‘optional’ illness This article looks at the problem from a different perspective. It suggests that a patient with varicose veins goes to her (or his) doctor because of a temporary need to be ill; vein-strip operations provide a brief optional illness which meets this need. This may seem paradoxical, for in our culture illness is conceived as being in essence obligatory.
I think that empathic resonance is communicated via metaphor. This also happens in literature and poetry. Going back to the Oedipal issue, I think I am a rebellious adolescent who, because of the war and because of my father’s injury – I had a slightly handicapped father – I never really had my Oedipal battle. I got away without the Oedipal battle. One of the things about attachment theory for me is that Bowlby became my father. I shied away from psychoanalysis because it was a bit of a matriarchy.
