Author Description

The Psychological Diary for 2005 presents images to remind us of the strange and beautiful world of the unconscious. Images drawn from the many attempts of psychologists to chart its terrains vagues and from their diagnostic tools and therapeutic techniques. Images by those who have entered 'other places' by way of intuition and imagination. And unforgettable images brought back by artists from the enchanted domains of madness. The diary includes an extraordinary introductory text by Will Self and a questionnaire: The Anxietal Register devised by John Sladek.
