If this remarkable work is indeed the final testament of the author's literary legacy, it stands as a testament to their unparalleled artistry and profound insights. Psychoanalysts who have undergone training within the Independent Group frequently find themselves being sought after by psychoanalysts and psychotherapists from around the world, eager to gain a deeper understanding of the unique perspective and approach of independent psychoanalysts. In the past, references have been made to various influential books that have shed light on the thought and practice of independent psychoanalysts. These include Winnicott's Playing and Reality, Rycroft's Imagination and Reality, Khan's The Privacy of the Self, and Marion Milner's monumental opus. However, if we were to single out one book as the epitome of the independent psychoanalyst's vision, it would undoubtedly be this remarkable work. It transcends mere literature, emerging as a literary spirit of place, a captivating portrayal of sensibility, and, in my opinion, the finest expression of the English psychoanalyst of independent persuasion ever to be witnessed.

From the Foreword by Christopher Bollas, we are privileged to gain an insight into the author's profound thoughts and the significance of this work. Bollas acknowledges that this book represents a remarkable culmination of the author's artistic journey, showcasing their unparalleled ability to convey the essence of psychoanalytic thought in a manner that is both captivating and deeply meaningful. He emphasizes that this work stands as a testament to the author's unparalleled insights and their profound understanding of the human psyche.

Moreover, Bollas suggests that this book possesses a unique quality that sets it apart from other works in the field. He describes it as a literary spirit of place, a beautifully rendered conjuring of sensibility that transports the reader to a realm of profound emotional depth. He believes that this work is not only a valuable contribution to the field of psychoanalysis but also a testament to the author's exceptional literary talent.
