Mother's hand

Book title: Hand of the Mother - Mother’s desires, imaginations, and heritages Publisher: Hayat Publications Author: Massimo Ricalcati Number of pages: 210 "When he was still in the cradle, exhausted from his unbearable crying, his mother took him in her hands, and instead of trying to soothe him, she made an angry impulsive movement by throwing him into the void above the bed. The symptoms that appeared on my patient in his adulthood were a reflection of this initial trauma; every time he met an attractive woman, he literally felt as if he was falling into the void." *** In Faten’s threshold, between psychology, poetic life, and human imagination, the author explores the concept of "mother" and returns it to the virginity of human instinct, then reconstructs all the cultural and social frameworks that have succeeded it. This is a book where poetry meets psychoanalysis, and clinical experiences are combined with deep philosophical reflection to depict a new image of the mother.
