"Emotion is an appearance of the home," Verena Kast writes in this ground-breaking analysis of the neglected thoughts of joy, ideas, and expectation. If we determine we no more want to cover up behind vacant shells, then we will have to allow certain thoughts more room. We will have to let ourselves giggle louder, cry louder, and shout for enjoyment. Kast skillfully and engagingly makes the case that not only therapists and analysts but also individuals seeking expansion in their own lives should give more attention to the elated thoughts. Fear of unwanted (mania) and analytic preoccupation with grief, anxiousness, and major depression have together induced joy and desire to be shunned as a target in individuation (the procedure toward wholeness). Kast convincingly shows the role of enjoyment in relationship and existential engagement. Joy right answers the human dependence on elated feeling and meaning inside our lives, a need which is often filled up in society by secularized parodies of religious ecstasy, such as addiction and compulsiveness. Kast explores the Dionysian misconception as an archetypal image of the transforming effect of ecstasy on the personality. She considers Sisyphus, the absurd hero of French existentialism, as the symbol for rejection of fake hope and enjoyment, rejection which clears the way for true expectation rooted in basic trust and the positive mom archetype. She implies simple approaches for recapturing our enjoyment through development of an autobiography of enjoyment. Using this process, we can discover what gives us enjoyment personally, how we can best experience enjoyment, and how and why we choke off our enjoyment. By viewing enjoyment, inspiration, and trust as core thoughts inside our being, we open ourselves to increased wholeness and fuller life.
