"Franco Borgogno is one of the most original and profound thinkers in contemporary psychoanalysis. To listen to the stories he tells in his inimitable personal voice is to know that one has found what he himself calls Ferenczi-a 'fundamental companion' on one's own psychoanalytic journey. If, as Borgogno exemplifies, the analytic process is a 'long wave' in which one life heals another, ' to immerse oneself in the pages of his book is to undergo a transformative experience."
