First of all: the one who introduced this book on goodreads forgot the..COMPLETE title: Surviving Trauma. Loss, Literature and Psychoanalysis. PSYCHOANALYSIS plays an important part in the book!
It's a good book on grief, guilt feelings, TRAUMA. The concepts are applied mostly on well-known literary figures, but also personalities in cinema or in other fields.
Chapters are very suggestive
1. Creativity and the Survivor
2. Loss and Creativity
3. Loss and Dreams
4. Loss and Childhood Memories
5. Grief and Mysticism
6. Loss and Philosophical Ideas
7. Loss and Charisma
8. Grief and Pathology
9. Loss and Suicide.
