This work discusses the parallels of the creative and therapeutic processes as well as the languages and sensibilities of the artist that contribute to the science of psychoanalysis. There is a significant aspect of psychoanalytic treatment that involves clear, linear, and interpretive work, but linear scientific terminology does not adequately describe the complexity of human relationships, according to this book. Therefore it cannot provide the "holding environment" most conducive to these multifold areas. The artist understands this complexity, it is claimed, and comes much closer to expressing it in multidimensional symbolic forms. If we are to understand the true essence of and be maximally effective in this very complex interchange called psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the authors claim that we must explore and more consciously bind the two giants, art and science.
