Synopsis

Prelogical Experience: An Inquiry Into Dreams And Other Creative Processes is a book written by Edward S. Tauber. The book explores the concept of prelogical experience, which refers to the non-rational, non-verbal, and non-linear experiences that occur in dreams and other creative processes. Tauber argues that prelogical experience is an essential part of human consciousness and creativity, and that it can provide valuable insights into the workings of the mind. The book draws on a range of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, and literature, to explore the nature of prelogical experience and its significance for human understanding. It also includes practical exercises and techniques for accessing and exploring prelogical experience, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in exploring the depths of the human mind. Overall, Prelogical Experience is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds new light on the mysteries of human consciousness and creativity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One of the foundational texts of interpersonal psychoanalysis, Prelogical Experience (1959) is a pioneering attempt to elaborate an interpersonal theory of personality that encompasses the nonpropositional, nonverbal dimension of human experience.  Prelogical processes, the authors hold, cannot be consigned to infancy; rather they shape experience throughout life and are especially salient in relation to dreams, emotion, perception, and the arts.

Of special note is Tauber and Green's elaboration of the clinical situation that grows out of an appreciation of prelogical experience.  In a striking anticipation of contemporary thinking, they approach patient-therapist interaction in terms of the continuous exchange of "presentational data" by patient and analyst.  These data enable patient and therapist alike to "know" more about the other than can ever be expressed in propositional terms.

This perspective assigns an important role to what Piaget would term "the cognitive unconscious" in the clinical process.  It likewise sustains a view of the countertransference - which includes the analyst's own dreams - as a vital source of presentational data about the patient.  As Donnel Stern notes in his Introduction, these and other insights "amount to a surprisingly contemporary description of psychoanalytic treatment."
