Product Description
On Freud's Mourning and Melancholia: “Mourning and Melancholia” (The International Psychoanalytical Association Contemporary Freud Turning Points and Critical Issues Series)
Both melancholia and mourning are triggered by the same thing, that is, by loss. The distinction often made is that mourning occurs after the death of a loved one while in melancholia the object of love does not qualify as irretrievably lost. Melancholia is about a loss that is sometimes retrievable.
