Rezensionen

"In this deeply thoughtful and scholarly work, Yorai Sella synthesizes concepts from key psychoanalytic theorists, Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, Johnson and Lakoff's linguistic philosophy, and Buddhist philosophy (with a particular emphasis on the extraordinary teachings of 13^th century Japanese Zen master, Ehei Dogen), to provide a remarkably creative and fertile framework for transcending the mind-body dualism inherent in both Western philosophy and psychoanalytic theory. Readers of this volume will find it to be a richly rewarding and thought provoking experience, and will want to return to it time and time again."

"Yorai Sella's book provides an excellent discussion of the relationship between psyche and soma in psychoanalysis. With remarkable precision, Sella outlines and challenges some of the inherent shortcomings of current psychoanalytic theories. His rigorous conceptual framework, which employs interdisciplinary intertextuality and incorporates Zen-Buddhist philosophy into psychoanalysis, offers an overarching foundation for a "unitary turn", a paradigm shift that moves away from dualistic views of the mind-body relationship to posit a dual intra-psychic/inter-psychic unitive experience. Sella's clear, fluid style helps readers understand complex arguments and guides them in an outstanding study of mind-body selfhood".
