Synopsis "the shadow of the object,psychoanalysis of the unthought known"

Basing his view on the object relations theories of the "British School" of psychoanalysis, Christopher Bollas examines the human subject's memories of its earliest experiences (during infancy and childhood) of the object, whether it be mother, father, or self. He explains in well-written and non-technical language how the object can affect the child, or "cast in shadow," without the child being able to process this relation through mental representations of language.

Christopher Bollas, born in 1943 in Washington D.C., is a renowned British psychoanalyst and writer of American origin. He graduated in History from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned a PhD in English Literature at the University of Buffalo. His psychoanalytic training was conducted at the Tavistock Clinic and the British Psychoanalytical Society, where he was influenced by figures such as Paula Heimann and Marion Milner.

Among his most notable works are "The Shadow of the Object" (1987), "Being a Character" (1992), and "The Freudian Moment" (2007). These works, belonging to the psychoanalytic genre, have significantly contributed to the contemporary theory and practice of psychoanalysis.
