'This book unusually combines the theoretical and the clinical in a poetic style. Since the author's subjects are myth and psychoanalysis, such an approach is an effective one. I am much taken by the originality of her use of myth in relation to psychoanalysis and the freshness of her detailed discussions: I think her particular achievement is to have made the clinical poetic.' Elizabeth Wright, University of Cambridge
