Biography
Jean-Michel Quinodoz is a Psychoanalyst in private practice in Geneva. He is a member of the Swiss Psychoanalytical Society and Honorary Member of the British Psychoanalytical Society. Jean-Michel Quinodoz is author of The Taming of Solitude, Dreams That Turn Over a Page and Reading Freud.
"...Quinodoz is superb, probing, discursive and illuminating. What I was left with at the end of the book was a very clear sense of Segal as a person, an analyst and a thinker, and a sense that one had indeed encountered her in a multitude of ways." - Maggie McAlister, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Vol. 53, 2008
"...written in a very original style in that it offers an explanatory text of each concept and theory presented and combines this with a conversation with Hanna Segal... this original compilation offers a textual type of seminar... it is unique and would interest all those who appreciate the evolution of psychoanalytic thought. It is a living historical account of one of the most influential psychoanalysts of our time; and, because it touches on so many aspects of both individual and social issues, it will be appreciated by psychoanalysts of all persuasions as well as by artists, therapists, philosophers and others. A valuable addition to our psychoanalytic library." - Ricardo Stramer, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
