Overview
Novel Connections explores the relationship between literary insights and those of the psychotherapist's practice, focusing on a remarkable selection of authors including Virginia Woolf, Eugene O’Neil and Zadie Smith, whose works have rich relevance to a greater understanding of human relationships and psychology.
The book offers an understanding of the ‘literary mind’ and how we all think in metaphors, analogies, and parables. Therapy can be understood as granting permission to narrate, and through a mutual process of articulation by both therapist and patient, a meaningful meeting of minds is built. Thinking well beyond the Western literary cannon, Weegmann illustrates the role of a ‘writing cure’ in psychotherapy and excavates Freud’s relationship to the written word to demonstrate how much can be learned about human psychological life from literature.
