书籍简介

一部深入剖析贝多芬、维特根斯tan、卡夫卡等天才隐秘心理的惊世杰作

一部大胆矫正弗洛伊德、温尼科特、科胡特等人精神分析传统的罕见巨著

一曲关于孤独的不朽赞歌，一部让心灵得以餍足的辉煌交响乐

心理分析、迷人哲思、诗性光 辉完美融合的永恒经典

-------------------------

大哲学家康德说，我是孤独的，我是自由的，我就是自己的帝王；叔本华说，我们承受所有不幸，皆因无法忍受独处；精神病学家安东尼·斯托尔说，唯有在孤独中，我们才能深入内在的心灵花园，体验到那种忘形的一体感。

在《孤独：回归自我》这部洋溢着迷人哲思和诗性光辉的罕见著作中，安东尼·斯托尔对弗洛伊德、克莱因、温尼科特、科胡特等人的精神分析学说进行了系统梳理，矫正了其过于注重亲密关系的弊病，并以无比的深情和悲悯剖析了牛顿、贝多芬、维特斯根坦、卡夫卡等天才的心理作为佐证：个人所能感受到的最深刻、最治愈的心理体验都发生于内部。因此，独处的能力是成熟的标志，它不但可以激发个体的创造力和想象力，还能够引导他们完成内在的整合和精神的升华。

Originally published in 1988, Anthony Storr's bestselling meditation on the creative individual's need for solitude has become a classic.

A pre-eminent work in self-help and popular psychology literature, Solitude was seminal in challenging the psychological paradigm that “interpersonal relationships of an intimate kind are the chief, if not the only, source of human happiness.” Indeed, most self-help literature still places relationships at the center of human existence. Lucid and lyrical, Storr's book argues that solitude ranks alongside relationships in its impact on an individual’s well-being and productivity, as well as on society's progress and health. Citing numerous examples of brilliant scholars and artists—from Beethoven and Kant to Anne Sexton and Beatrix Potter—he argues that solitary activity is essential not only for geniuses, but often for the average person as well. For nearly three decades, readers have found inspiration and renewal in Storr's erudite, compassionate vision of the human experience—and the benefits and joy of solitude.
