The last two chapters are about taking responsibility. Putting Coetzee’s literary work to use, Lear forces both himself and the reader to take responsibility—namely, responsibility for injustice. This involves the moral challenge posed to us in owning racism and inequality, and in refusing any attempts to assign these ignoble qualities to others and thereby absolve ourselves. In short, the essays in Wisdom Won from Illness are delightful, thought provoking, engaging, and, in Lear’s own words, committed to life. As he sets out to share his journey from philosophy to psychoanalysis, he writes, “I began studying Aristotle in my twenties, and what captured my imagination was not only the brilliance of his thinking, but also his commitment for life. He was for it” (p. 3). This inspiration exudes from the pages of this book.","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 1","pages":"201 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41355709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of words “reveal[s] and render[s] accessible that which until then had been cast in nonlinguistic derivatives of action and symbolic representation” (p. 195). We learn words first, then build thoughts with them. Through thoughts, we learn life. In naming things and feelings, we get to know them. Through dialogue, we get to know one another. As Shapiro notes, “Language is a means of bridging the gap between two subjective participants” (p. 87). He states that our interpretations are acts of naming by which unconscious fantasies are placed in the realm of ego control by turning them into language. Translation of wishes and fantasies into inner and outer speech allows for control of behavior related to them. That is why so many of the papers in this collection concentrate on understanding the development and structure of language. Shapiro’s attention to words is evident in his writing style. It is clear, direct, and rational—without much adornment. This approach makes his arguments even more compelling. Shapiro emphasizes that, since psychoanalysis is essentially the study of symbolic systems, a knowledge of semiotics and linguistics is important. After all, “we are a profession of word users” (p. 87). In many of his papers, he emphasizes that our listening and speaking should be understood and studied within the frames of syntax (the organization of","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 1","pages":"193 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46114629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resisting adjudication as well as enduring and being enriched by cacophony are among the guiding principles of Greenberg’s vision of comparative psychoanalysis and an explicit focus in his most recent work.
