Reviews
'Metaphors of restoration or of moving house are often present during analysis to convey the idea of profound changes in the patient's emotional life. In this fine book, the author goes further, finding in 'creativity' the common denominator of psychoanalysis and architecture. These two 'sciences' continually cross over into art. The office of a psychoanalyst and the office of an architect are constantly called upon to become ateliers of transformations and inventive dwellings in the internal and external world. This book opens a door to new adventures of the mind. Definitely not to be missed.'- Antonino Ferro, author of The Analytic Field and its Transformations
