"Howard Levines fascinating volume of Andre Greens work offers anglophone access to previously untranslated papers that are missing pieces in Greens intellectual journey. The seven chapters along with Levines introduction illuminate central metapsychological concepts that Green brings foreword, along with their crucial clinical implications. Deeply rooted in Freud s oeuvre but acknowledging Bion and Winnicotts contributions, Green proposes here his key conceptions of the frame, "the double-limit", death-drive, language and silence." - Marilia Aisenstein, author of An Analytic Journey and Desire, Pain, Thought (Routledge)
"Howard Levine collects valuable gold nuggets from the great mine that is the vast oeuvre of André Green and makes them available to the English-speaking reader. With these texts, he shines a powerful light on Green's indispensable contributions to contemporary psychoanalysis. It is evident in this volume how the French author, starting from his Freudian roots and influenced by Lacan, Winnicott and Bion, brings extremely original and at the same time fundamental contributions to the psychoanalyst of today. An indispensable read!" - Ruggero Levy, Full Member and Training Analyst of the Porto Alegre Psychoanalytic Society (SPPA - Brasil)
