The Loss of Self considers distinctions and connections between the writing of survival and survival as a mode of being and thinking encountered in analytic work with borderline patients.

Jean-François Chiantaretto draws a parallel between Freuds use of writing in constructing the psychoanalytic edifice and the way each analyst may turn to writing when reflecting on a patients analysis. With close reference to the writings of Imre Kertész, the book brings a unique perspective to the literary and historical concept of survival.

The Loss of Self will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training.
