ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book concludes that the psychoanalysis is the method that allows emotions to be "broken down" into narrations, whereby they can be endowed with "bodily form" and "visibility". At a certain point in his book A Star Shines over Mt. Morris Park, Henry Roth describes in rare detail the moment in which he realises that there is a specific, particular, and unique word for describing the distinct atmosphere and emotion he is feeling at that very moment. Love and its consequences are a constantly evolving and changing topic in our consulting rooms and in the lives of both patients and analysts. Without the libidinal capacity to invest and to risk loving, one slowly and quietly suffocates. Life passes in the expectation and promise of a happy love, like a river that flows towards the sea.
