This unusual book explores the transformative power of liminal experiences in ancient Greek texts, psychoanalytic theory, and the author's own life, to demonstrate how a contemporary understanding of ancient thought can illuminate modern psychoanalytic theory and practice as it relates to trauma, grief, and the development of psyche.
