Voices from the Inaudible: The Patients Speak by Theodor Reik..According to Plato, Socrates said: "Life unexamined is not worth living." In the opinion of psychologists, the inner life unexamined is not worth living, and they devote their time to the explotration of the emotional and menatl processes with rewarding and sometimes amazing results.
After fifty years of analysis, Theodor Reik decided to re-examine his records of the confidences and revelations of patient who have come to him for advice and consultation. In Voices form the Inaudible he has assembled an extraordinary collection of the wise, amusing and often startling statements and stories of men and women under analysis - statements "from the guts." so to speak; astonishing remarks spoken only in confidential atmosphere of psychoanalytic sessions. These statements from the subconscious-"voices from the inaudible," as the author calls them-are about the sex and sexuality of men and women, marriages and affairs, morals and mores, friends and rivals. The confidences of these anonymous patients and Dr. REik's comments on them form a book quite unlike any other published psychoanalytical writing.
