Her immense love for her child can't protect her from the dread that prevents her leaving the house, opening the mail, eating. Nor, it seems, can the psychoanalytic thinking she has absorbed through her family and her many years of therapy. In an attempt to understand the source of her panic, Nicola starts to thread together what she knows about herself and her family with explorations of the human mind in philosophy, science and literature. What role do genetics play in postnatal anxiety? Do the biological changes of motherhood offer a complete explanation? Is the Freudian idea of the mind outdated? Can more recent combined theories from neuroscientists and psychoanalysts provide the answers? How might we be able to know ourselves through our genes, our biology, our family stories and our own ever-unfolding narratives? In this compelling and insightful memoir, Nicola blends her personal experiences with the historical progression of psychoanalysis. In the end, much like in analysis, it is the careful act of narrative construction that yields the answers. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Redhouse, Nicola. 650 0 Brain. 650 0 Depression, Mental|zAustralia|zNew South Wales. 650 0 Mentally ill mothers|zAustralia|zNew South Wales |vBiography. 650 0 Motherhood|zAustralia|zNew South Wales. 650 0 Mothers|xMental health. 650 0 Postpartum depression|xPatients|vBiography. 650 0 Postpartum depression|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Psychoanalysis. 650 0 Psychology. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRedhouse, Nicola.|tUnlike the heart.|dSt Lucia, QLD : University of Queensland Press, 2019. |z9780702260339|wbe2019007753 914 frd00028632
