Abstract

This book consists of five essays on the broad theme of art and psychoanalysis. Two of the articles were originally published in English: Death and the Mid-Life Crisis by Elliott Jacques which appeared in the International Journal of Psycho-Analysis (Vol. XLVI, pp. 502-514); and The Jocasta Complex, Mothering and Genius by Matthew Besdine, which appeared in Psychoanalytic Review (Vol. LV, pp. 259-277). This review will therefore be concerned only with the original French articles: Vers une métapsychologie de la création by Didier Anzieu; D'une improbable esthétique: Essai sur les théories psychoanalytiques de l'art by Michel Mathieu, and La création artistique et l'élaboration consciente de
