★被譽為所有佛洛伊德傳記文學中最迷人的作品，詩人筆鋒帶有深情，文字洗煉而富詩意★側寫晚年的佛洛伊德，尤其讓人看到佛洛伊德：（1）對神祕學與神話領域深厚的功力，是個帶有靈性色彩的佛洛伊德；（2）看到佛洛伊德的柔軟面──不同於過往父性的形象，彷彿在作者眼裡，佛洛伊德若似母親形象，是為本書亮點。★著名女詩人以文學之筆將自身接受治療的經歷記錄成書，至今仍是精神分析創始人佛洛伊德的分析治療實踐的重要證詞。★劇作家、精神分析師Antonio Quinet將本書改編為舞台劇「詩人與教授」（Hilda and Freud）。◎最迷人的佛洛伊德傳記文學◎當納粹在窗外喧囂，她和佛洛伊德在診療室中分析無意識與夢境「我本來預期見到的是冷漠、超然而經常受人批評的科學家，結果我卻發現了藝術家。」本書是筆名 H. D. 的美國女詩人希爾達．杜利特（Hilda Doolittle），在一九三〇年代接受佛洛伊德治療後寫下的紀錄與自我敘說。文中佛洛伊德以「教授」之名若隱若現，彷彿在 H. D. 行動與回憶時始終於一旁觀看守護，與她對話。第一部「牆上的書寫」是 H. D. 治療十年後的回憶，以簡短章節的散文詩形式雜揉夢境、現實與想像，重寫了她的分析經驗；第二部「降臨」則是分析期間的日記。全書交織著 H. D. 的生命故事和治療場景――賓夕法尼亞州的童年回憶、與詩人龐德、小說家勞倫斯、她的前夫亞丁頓、終身伴侶布麗荷的關係，穿插神話意象的分析、時代氛圍側寫、自身的創作過程，以及與佛洛伊德往來的點滴。書中呈現的精神分析之父不若一般印象中那位嚴肅謹慎的思想巨人，而是一位藝術收藏家、愛狗人士；柔軟睿智、溫煦體貼，對神祕學有深厚造詣；並且擁有令人畏懼的洞察力，卻隨時願意修正自己的想法。詩人的文字如同水晶碎片，惆悵的氛圍中閃爍著迷人的光芒，呈現了精神分析創始人暮年非常溫馨且人性化的形象。時間在夢境、記憶和反思的遠景中，將過去、現在和未來交織成一幅如夢似真的繪畫。「這無疑是對佛洛伊德人格最珍貴的禮讚，可能是有史以來寫得最美好的一部。只有優秀且富創意的藝術家才能寫出這樣的文字……本書將成為所有佛洛伊德傳記文學中最迷人的作品。」――歐內斯特．瓊斯（Ernest Jones，佛洛伊德官方傳記作者）王浩威｜作家、精神科醫師、榮格分析師宋文里｜國立清華大學榮譽退休教授高榮禧｜國立清華大學藝術與設計學系副教授張小虹｜國立臺灣大學文
