Críticas:

"In this gracefully illustrative collection of essays Dr. Holmes provides the general reader with an animated account of modern psychotherapy. . . . What makes these essays all the more original is the way in which the author takes into account the development of cognitive science and the philosophy of the mind--an admirable achievement." -Dr. Jonathan Miller ." . . Jeremy Holmes beautifully illustrates the continued application of psychoanalytic thinking to the full range of psychiatric practice. . . . His numerous clinical vignettes convey considerable psychotherapeutic wisdom as well as an appreciation of the limits of our craft. Both trainees and experienced clinicians will be richly rewarded by spending some time with this volume." -Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Director, C. F. Menninger Memorial Hospital, Topeka, Kansas "[Jeremy Holmes] makes it clear that it "is possible to help patients with much less intensive treatment than conventional, classical psychoanalysts insist upon. "Between Art and Science should be read by everyone interested in psychotherapy and concerned in its future." -Charles Rycroft "There is something for everyone in this book . . . a really good read." -"Psychoanalytic Books

Reseña del editor:

Psychotherapy is a vital humanising force within psychiatry and contemporary culture, while the psychoanalytical vision acts as an important bridge between the arts and the sciences. In this collection of essays Jeremy Holmes discusses the wider application of psychotherapy within psychiatry and suggests that psychoanalysis needs to escape from its esotericism by taking into account contemporary advances in cognitive science, family therapy and the realities of psychiatric work in a public health setting.
Often illustrating his arguments with literary as well as clinical examples, he emphasises the importance of creativity in psychotherapy and the connections between the artistic and psychotherapeutic implulse.
