SARAH NETTLETON
The work of Christopher Bollas: the creative unconscious and the analytic relationship
We shall begin with a brief overview of the foundations of Bollas’s thinking, including his theories of the receptive unconscious, human idiom and the unthought known, and the interaction between our internal reality and the world of external objects.
We shall then examine the clinical implications of this metapsychology, focusing on his concepts of unconscious complexity, the Freudian Pair, and the technique of free association. We shall discuss some key papers, which participants will be asked to read in advance, and we shall use clinical material to explore the patient’s narrative as an unfolding text, tracing the lines of unconscious logic as they appear in the various categories of communication.
