Widely acclaimed for giving "an understanding of the connection between Nietzsche’s personal experience and his most famous ideas" (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times) in her biography of Nietzsche, Nietzsche in Turin, Chamberlain now renders a similar service to readers of Freud. In this book, part biography, part literary criticism, she takes the reader into the mind of Freud, toward a better understanding of the thinker, his work, and art itself. The very idea of the subconcious as a constant, active presence in our daily lives was Freud’s greatest contribution and has allowed generations of people to experience their lives more deeply. His rigorous exploration of the dynamism and structures of the subconscious, Chamberlain argues, was in itself an important work of art. Using Freud’s own writing on art and the aesthetic theories of thinkers ranging from Nietzsche to Lionel Trilling, Chamberlain examines Freud’s art and shows how his imaginative creations have revolutionized not only mental health, but our thinking about art in general, by opening up the individual subconscious as a subject. In elegant, accessible prose she describes how "Freud split the aesthetic atom, releasing a vast energy for individual creativity."

This book was released on 2020-07-23. The Secret available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When in 2007 Robert Martiensen was discovered, deceased, in his derelict home in rural South Australia an incredible secret was revealed. Throughout the modest building were stacks of some 7,000 framed and unframed paintings all created after 1990 when this enigmatic, inflexible, highly erudite, but equally eccentric individual was retired from his employment as a primary school mathematics teacher. Quick thinking and rapid action by the book's author, psychotherapist and art gallery owner Dr Elizabeth Arthur, saved the entire collection from destruction or dispersal to enable this study to be undertaken. Martiensen, an obsessive individual who kept his art secret from the art world, never seeking to exhibit or sell it, might be described as an 'Outsider Artist' and join the catalogue of unusual artistic identities who have been discovered throughout the world. Robert Martiensen's story, based on interviews with those who knew him, is accompanied by more than 500 colour reproductions of his paintings - works which clearly demonstrate his fluctuating moods and intellectual interests while exhibiting remarkable aesthetic achievement. Previously unknown to the art world, his secret is now revealed.
