Marion Milner introduces this edited collection of her papers from 1942 to 1977 with a fascinating biographical account of her development in psychoanalysis. The collection includes her classic papers on symbolism. "... a testament to the imagination of a distinguished analyst ... She is particularly interesting in outlining the relationship between the creative process and psychological state, backed by her own strong interest in painting, both theoretically and as an artist ... the humanity and the sheer imaginative flair of the book sweep one along ... a valuable addition to the literature ..." - Community Care Marion Milner
