Gravitational Psyche: Further Developments of the Psychoanalysis of Unstable Objects

What if the psyche, like the cosmos, is governed by invisible curves and recursive loops? Exploring how symbolic atmosphere, affective orbit, and curved epistemologies shape experience from the ground up, this volume integrates psychoanalytic theory with metaphors drawn from physics, nonduality, and recursive form. It develops a topological and recursive framework for analytic practice: the mind as a curved field, shaped by symbolic tension, relational mass, and recursive returns. Anderson presents the psyche not as a static structure but as a gravitational space, where repetition, collapse, and atmosphere reveal the curved nature of subjectivity. It further equips readers to orient, listen, and intervene where language thins, helping analysis preserve vitality without forcing premature coherence. This book offers readers a fresh vocabulary for working at the edge of symbolization.

Bridging theory and practice with vivid clinical illustrations, conceptual maps, and a study guide designed to support teaching and supervision, this book is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
