Biography

Andreas Embiricos (1901-1975) was a Greek poet, writer, and psychoanalyst. He is recognized as one of the foremost Greek surrealists and the first Freudian psychoanalyst in Greece. 

Alexander Baron-Raiffe is a licensed psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City, USA.

“A rare combination of literary history and psychoanalysis, this book opens a thought-provoking perspective on Surrealism and psychoanalysis, poetry and dream analysis, through the work of Andreas Embiricos, Greece’s first Surrealist poet and its first practicing psychoanalyst. A colleague of Jacques Lacan, Embiricos trained in Paris and remained close to Marie Bonaparte, Freud’s key ally in France. His writings on Freudian psychoanalysis are marked by passion and a distinctive Surrealist imagination. This book offers two clinical cases that highlight his sensitive approach to dream work. A unique contribution to the literature, this book invites reflection on the practice of psychoanalysis today and may renew the analyst’s capacity for free association.”

Christine Anzieu-Premmereur, Assistant Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at Columbia University, USA
