ABSTRACT
Milner in her writings thinks about the human psyche, either presenting her clinical work or reflecting on her own and on other psychoanalysts’ writings, discussing with them openly and enriching the writings with her thoughts on works of art.
Although she believes she belongs to those who think with images, she actually talks about them and thinks in words, her own words, that often deviate from the usual language psychoanalysts use, on the psyche in its most creative side as well as in its most dark and mad – even where emptiness and mysticism overwhelm human experience. This experience, along with her personal experience, is transformed into words and is being presented in the variety of her books and in the different versions of her writings on the “madness of sane men”.
