Críticas:
'Subtle and stimulating... In probing the vagaries of the human, Cohen gives us fascinating glimpses of cases. He weaves autobiographical fragments into his narrative, perhaps to emphasise that the analyst is not the all-seeing authority that popular culture paraded in the middle of the last century. Close to Darian Leader and Slavoj Zizek in his understanding of the uses of psychoanalysis, Cohen also engages in some astute reading of literature and popular culture.' --Observer

'Highly topical and fascinating... Summoning literature from Milton to Sophocles, Cohen concludes that our only hope now may be to protect things that should remain unknown. One nation under CCTV? No thank you - I'd like a little privacy now.' --Daily Telegraph

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent

'Elegant and suggestive... The range of references is impressive: Cohen is equally at home discussing Katie Price as he is expounding the thoughts of Hannah Arendt.' --Guardian

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent

Doubling as a literary academic and a psychoanalyst, Josh Cohen is well poised to engage in acts of interpretation - of texts, patients, the culture as well as himself. In The Private Life, he examines some of the tensions in our snooping- and celebrity-obsessed world, where privacy is in danger of becoming a dirty word. --'Psychology Books of the Year', Observer

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent

'Reflective, dark and literary... Cohen is a lyrical and deeply absorbing writer [who] touches a nerve. His use of literature, his autobiographical vignettes and his reflections on his own psychoanalytic experiences seduce' --Jewish Quarterly

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent

'Enlightening without being sententious... The Private Life deserves a place on domestic shelves to be read and referred to again and again, and every time to provide something new to think about' --Jewish Chronicle

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent

'An intelligent and highly literary exploration of the changing nature of privacy in the age of Facebook and Celebrity Big Brother' --Alex Preston, author of In Love and War, in the Observer

'Erudite... He draws heavily on Sigmund Freud to explain the subconscious, but is not beyond contemplating indignant ripostes to Freud. The liveliest parts of the book are those in which he talks about personal experiences.' --Independent
Reseña del editor:
The war over private life spreads inexorably. Some seek to expose, invade and steal it, others to protect, conceal and withhold it. Either way, the assumption is that privacy is a possession to be won or lost. But what if what we call private life is the one element in us that we can't possess? Could it be that we're so intent on taking hold of the privacy of others, or keeping hold of our own only because we're powerless to do either? In this groundbreaking book, Josh Cohen uses his experience as a psychoanalyst, literature professor and human being to explore the conception of private life as the presence in us of someone else, an uncanny stranger both unrecognisable and eerily familiar, who can be neither owned nor controlled. Drawing on a dizzying array of characters and concerns, from John Milton and Henry James to Katie Price and Snoopy, from philosophy and the Bible to pornography and late-night TV, The Private Life weaves a richly personal tapestry of ideas and experience. In a culture that floods our lives with light, it asks, how is it that we remain so helplessly in the dark?
