Promises, Promises: Essays on Literature and PsychoanalysisAs an essayist, Adam Phillips combines the best of two worlds: a mastery of psychotherapy as both practitioner and theorist, and a reputation as one of the best literary writers around. In this collection of essays, he brings these two gifts to bear upon each other, speculating on the relative merits of psychoanalysis and literature and on the connections between them.

As an essayist, Adam Phillips combines the best of two worlds: a mastery of psychotherapy as both practitioner and theorist, and a reputation as one of the best literary writers around. In this collection of essays, he brings these two gifts to bear upon each other, speculating on the relative merits of psychoanalysis and literature and on the connections between them. In his quirky, epigrammatic style, Phillips shows us how psychoanalysis and literature at their best share the goal of shedding light on human character, the most fascinating of disorders. Promises, Promises reveals Phillips as a virtuoso performer able to reach far beyond the borders of psychoanalytic discourse, into art, novels, poetry, and history. This collection gives us insights into Martin Amis's Night Train, Nijinsky's diary, Tom Stoppard and A. E. Housman, Amy Clampitt, the effect of the Blitz on Londoners, and a case history of clutter. It confirms Phillips as a writer whose work, in the words of the Guardian, "hovers in a strange and haunting borderland between rigour and delight."Binding Type: Paperback

Mostly Good toy. Could be great.
Color: Blue
The ball looks well made and the dog absolutely loves it. He can't stop playing with it. It's awsome to see. The only problem, abd it's a big one, is that we can't open the ball to turn it off. The two halves are stuck together and don't budge. I'll wait until battery dies and try then.

Entertaining
Color: Blue
This smart ball is a great toy for your dog. It’s the perfect size for most dogs and it’s made of durable material that chewing doesn’t hurt. It’s easy to charge and will run for hours. It’s very quiet and has 3 modes of play to choose from, rolling, bouncing or a combination of both to keep them (and you) entertained for hours.

I bought this interactive ball for my dog, and it has been an excellent purchase.
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I bought this interactive ball for my dog, and it has been an excellent purchase. He loves playing with it because it moves and bounces on its own, keeping him entertained for a long time. It feels durable, is easy to charge, and is of very high quality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, long-lasting toy for their pets.

Great Interactive Dog Toy!
Color: Red
My dog absolutely loves this interactive ball! The material feels durable and stands up well to chewing. The bouncing and moving action keeps my dog entertained and active for long periods of time. It’s also easy to recharge and the size is perfect for medium to large dogs. So far, it has worked great and seems built to last. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and engaging toy for their pet! 🐶🐾

Not Golden Retriever Proof
Color: Red
My Golden Retriever destroyed this ball within a couple hours of receiving it. Turned my back for a minute and she had it open and chewed on the internal part wrecking the charging port. Then proceeded to rip chunks off of the outer part. This is a great idea but maybe make it more difficult to open. BTW, my dog loved the ball when it was functioning properly.
