Opis

Ever since Freud proposed that certain ideas can be permitted to become conscious only in their inverted and negative forms, interest has grown into the entire realm of the presence of absence, so to speak. This book provides contemporary perspectives on the developmental underpinnings of negation and the technical usefulness of the concept.
