By Force of Fantasy: How We Make Our Lives

Author(s)

Illuminating a taboo topic, a noted psychoanalyst sheds light on a long-neglected, but very significant, area of our lives--fantasy.

"Groundbreaking. . . . Person is a Cousteau of the psychological deep, as she dives into the colorful and transformative world of fantasy."
--Molly Haskell,author of From Rape to Reverence

Freud placed dreams at center stage of our psychic lives, relegating fantasy to a minor role, and even claiming that happy people do not fantasize. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Person challenges this view, arguing that, far from being only a "substitute gratification, " fantasy is central to our lives and essential to our well-being.
