This book considers whether Milner's work champions this site for therapeutic work over that of the relationship between patient and analyst in the psychoanalytic setting. This book brings to light a theory and practice which is latent and sometimes hidden, but which is central to understanding what drives Milner's autobiographical work. It is by doing this work of elucidation and organisation that Halton-Hernandez finds Milner to be a thinker with a unique take on psychoanalysis, object relations theory, creativity, and autobiography, w\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Milner has historically been constructed as a subsidiary figure to D.W.Winnicott within the British Independent Group. She is however a very important figure within early- to mid-twentieth century psychoanalysis. This book provides a concerted, careful and theoretically-engaged analysis of Milner. It is an original work that stands to make a substantial contribution to the field of psychoanalytic studies, literary studies, and twentieth-century cultural history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJo Winning\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Birkbeck, University of London, UK\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The Milner Method\u003c\/strong\u003e 1. \u003cem\u003eA Life of One's Own\u003c\/em\u003e and the birth of a diary keeping method to rival psychoanalysis 2. \u003cem\u003eOn Not Being Able to Paint\u003c\/em\u003e and drawing and painting for psychoanalysis 3. \u003cem\u003eBothered by Alligators\u003c\/em\u003e and compensating for the failures of a \"couch analysis\" \u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: The Milner Tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.
