“You know in my case all painting, and the older I get the more so, is accident. So I foresee it in my mind, I foresee it and yet I hardly ever carry it out as I foresee it.”
Francis Bacon, painter
The Book
Exquisite Sensibility
Attachment and Its Betrayal in Relationship
This work, many years in the writing, initially stemmed from Harold Pinter’s play Betrayal. Exploring the autobiographical connection between Pinter’s work and his first marriage led to a consideration of betrayal in forensic cases, as well as in the family background of the author.
The book further explores the attachment relationships of the film director John Huston, and films that addressed attachment, as well as the author’s relationships with photographers such as David Seymour (Chim), and writers such as Brendan Behan and the British poet and writer Charlie Hamblett.
Finally, the book draws up two paradigms:
I
Types of Attachment
The various types of attachment relationships.
II
Clinical Treatment
How they may be treated, from a clinical perspective.
