More About On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored: Psychoanalytic Essays on the Unexamined Life
Finding hate-objects may be every bit as essential as finding love-objects, but if one can tolerate some of one's badness -- meaning recognize it as yours -- then one can take some fear out of the world. Adam Phillips, On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored: Psychoanalytic Essays on the Unexamined Life // It is difficult to enjoy people for whom we have waited too long. And in this familiar situation, which evokes such intensities of feeling, we wait and we try to do something other than waiting, and we often get bored - the boredom of protest that is always a screen for rage. Adam Phillips, On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored: Psychoanalytic Essays on the Unexamined Life // The tickling narrative, unlike the sexual narrative, has no climax.Is the tickling scene, at its most reassuring, not a unique representation of desire and, at its most unsettling, a paradigm of the perverse contract?Does it not highlight, this delightful game, the impossibility of satisfaction and of reunion, with its continual reenactment of the irresistible attraction and the inevitable repulsion of the object, in which the final satisfaction is frustration?

This was an interesting rehashing of uncle Siggie Freud's theories. I read it for a book review project I did in my social work course. My prudish professeur suggested that I had problems with my superego. In spite of the embarrassing title, this book is AYMAYZING. Cross-disciplinarian, eloquent, devoid of all the icky stickiness of psychoanalysis but full of thoughtful suppositions about what it is to be human, this book completely sucked me in. Poetic and thoughtful, but grounded. Favorite chapters include "Worrying and It's Discontents,"... nanlmaz keyifli bir yolculua karyor Adam Phillips bu kitabyla. Psikanalizle ilgilenen kiilerin mutlaka okumas gerektiine inanyorum. Hi fark ettirmeden kiiyi kendi iine bakmaya ynlendiriyor. Doyamadm, o yzden yine bir Adam Phillips kitabyla devam edeceim.
