Understanding how our minds have to be prepared for self-discovery
is made easy with the ground-breaking book the Journal of Modern Psychoanalysis calls “arguably the best lay book written about modern psychoanalysis.”
If you ever wanted to know what it takes to be a guide to the unconscious, The Making of a Psychoanalysis brings you into the personal analysis and supervision of Dr. Claudia Luiz as she treats her patients in moving, emotion-filled stories.
- You will learn about Catrina, a woman suffering with depression and panic attacks, as she reveals her hidden truths.
- Follow Terrell and Rosalia in the intimate details of their marriage where they learn how to understand each other’s distortions, projections and negative transferences to each other.
- Mercy, a delinquent teen, needs her entire family to resuscitate her as they all learn how to listen emotionally.

These stories and more explain why working with the unconscious, the prerogative of psychoanalysis, is still the best way to make deep and lasting change happen, and change the whole trajectory of a person’s destiny, relationships and life.
