Recenzii
"Whether on philosophy, psychoanalysis, or just the process of living, whatever Gemma Corradi Fiumara writes is fresh and insightful, and this new book is no exception." - Janet Martin Soskice, University of Cambridge, UK
"Rarely does a book tackle essential problems in such a fascinating and convincing way. It deals with that very special human quality-spontaneity-which ultimately sustains all creative processes. It also explores the defensive manoeuvres that oppose spontaneity. This lucid and incisive book can be utilized at different levels of complexity. Not only are the contents of the book enriching, but its passion for the frontiers of research will enhance the creativity of readers." - Antonino Ferro, Italian Psychoanalytic Society, Pavia, Italy
"Professor Corradi Fiumara seeks to lift psychoanalytic thinking from the creature-driven level of psychic determinism to the higher level of spontaneity, unpredictability, humanness – as metapsychological constructs. I found this to be an exciting and innovative work." - James Grotstein, author of A Beam of Intense Darkness: Wilfred Bion's Legacy To Psychoanalysis
"I strongly recommend this stimulating book which deals with areas mainly neglected so far. I am sure that it will bring moments of joy and new insights to its readers." - Claudio Eizirik, President, International Psychoanalytic Association
"I highly recommend this book to all practicing analysts. It offers neither prescriptions nor proscriptions; instead, it provides a consistent and much-needed analytic reflection about our active participation in all aspects of our own psychic life in health and pathology. It softly calls for a new manner of looking at our patients and our theories in regard to causality and determinism, in contrast to the ever-present psychici potential for creative and spontaneous psychic action. This book is beautifully written in a style endowed with a subtle but persistent Socratic irony. It is a pleasure to read." - Ana Maria Rizzuto, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly
"This is an intriguing and informative blend of humanistic philosophy, linguistics, existentialism, and psychoanalysis. It requires a reading that is slow, takes frequent contemplative breaks, and is circular insofar as the reader often revisits passages already read. Such impulse to turn pages back and connect with ideas express in a previous chapter--or the one before it--is not belabored. It is spontaneous (in the spirit of the book's topic) and invariably rewarding." -Salman Akhtar M.D., American Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2014

Descriere
In this book Gemma Corradi Fiumara suggests that poor mental health can be a result of our incapacity to respond to internal and external stimuli, and indicates that spontaneity is essential in the development of many aspects of the self.
