Quotes by Jamieson Webster (?)

“This kind of work in psychoanalysis, little by little, begins to chart a path, developing a rhythm that gives the treatment a definitive shape—what Freud would call its architecture. For anyone who has witnessed this slow transformation—the force of this work to create the subtlest yet most radical shifts—there isn’t room for a lot of doubt, except perhaps concerning how to find the way to break into this space with every patient.”
― Jamieson Webster, Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis
