In this book, the author criticises the isolationism of traditional
psychoanalytic associations, compared to those of other branches of
psychology, and their suspicion of neuroscience. Today, affective
neuroscience is investigating the unconscious affects, which
psychoanalysis has always done with different methods and a
different language. The author points out how Freud's energy-drive
theory, although contradicted by scientific progress, has continued
to characterise, a religiousness underpinning the spirit of
psychoanalytic institutions: the icon of Freud. This spirit is
accompanied by confusion between different psychoanalytic theories
which are often incompatible with one another. The author blames
the poor social image that psychoanalysis has earned in the past
few years on this confusion of theories and haughty withdrawal into
a single presumed orthodoxy. A former President of the IPA, Otto
Kernberg, has even predicted the suicide of psychoanalytic
institutions. The author has addressed this chaos of theories
throughout his life, integrating work on psychoanalysis,
experimental psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive
science, attachment theory and now neuroscience.
