She shares her reflections on her psychoanalytic work with psychotic patients focusing on their struggle to achieve a coherent sense of a self that can inhabit a shared world. Abensour locates this struggle within the universal human struggle to achieve a balance between what we can and cannot allow ourselves to know about the reality of death and of our insignificance in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929858134167,"sku":"9780415673211","price":14808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415673211.webp?v=1771602824","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/psychotic-temptation-9780415673211","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
