Although small this piece of work provides the reader with multiple opportunities to explore the psyche。 The material is dense but broken up well into the chapters making it more accessible。 The whole concept of giving up and the pros and cons are explored in such depth。 Answers are never simple or easy。 I loved how all the main players in psychodynamic approaches are brought into the discussion， alongside Shakespeare。 This should be on any psychology students to read list。 Thank you to NetGalle Although small this piece of work provides the reader with multiple opportunities to explore the psyche。 The material is dense but broken up well into the chapters making it more accessible。 The whole concept of giving up and the pros and cons are explored in such depth。 Answers are never simple or easy。 I loved how all the main players in psychodynamic approaches are brought into the discussion， alongside Shakespeare。 This should be on any psychology students to read list。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an E-ARC。 This is a voluntary review of my own thoughts。 。。。more

slim， elliptical， thoughtful。 I’m never not interested in reading AP’s thoughts on psychoanalysis and human paradoxes。
