Can a worthwhile exchange be set up between the seemingly opposing
viewpoints of psychoanalytic therapy and cognitive science&
#63; Stein and the other contributing authors of "Cognitive Science
and the Unconscious" say yes. In fact, it is their contention that
such an interchange of theory and method& mdash;combining the
theoretical clarity and empirical rigor of cognitive science with
the richness and complexity of clinical work& mdash;holds the
promise of enriching both disciplines. The concept of
unconsciousness, as variously conceived by psychoanalysis (&
ldquo;The Unconscious& rdquo;) and cognitive science (&
ldquo;unconscious processing& rdquo;), is the reference point
of this dialogue.
Written by a distinguished group of researchers and clinicians,
this volume examines those aspects of the unconscious mind most
relevant to the psychiatric practitioner, including unconscious
processing of affective and traumatic experience, unconscious
mechanisms in dissociative states and disorders, and cognitive
approaches to dreaming and repression. Although cognitive
psychology forms the backbone of the book, many of the chapters
illuminate relevant work from the fields of artificial
intelligence, linguistics, and biology.
