Psychoanalysts have traditionally been expert at uncovering what
afflicts and damages people, argues Jeffrey B. Rubin, but by focusing
on narcissism and perversions, depression and sadism, psychoanalysis
has all too often disregarded what nourishes and sustains us. In The
Good Life, he demonstrates how psychoanalysis can make a profound
contribution to the well-lived life by drawing on a neglected but
potent aspect of psychoanalysis—its capacity to illuminate a
psychology of health as well as illness. Rubin shows that, at its
best, psychoanalysis can highlight both the ingredients of love,
ethics, creativity, and spirituality, as well as the obstacles to
experiencing them. Exploring the good life from this dual perspective
provides an indispensable resource for helping us live with greater
meaning and vitality.
