As a psychiatric trainee at Harvard in the early 1960s, Dr Allan
Hobson was taught commitment to psychoanalytic theory that was
already suspect and is now almost entirely obsolete. Via a series
of clinical case reports, the author first apologizes for the
arrogant ignorance that he adopted from his teachers and then
replaces Freudian doctrine with a scientific alternative called
Psychodynamic Neurology. The new approach is solidly grounded in
sleep and dream science and restores hypnosis to its rightful place
in the therapeutic armamentarium. A central precept of Ego Damage
and Repair is that the self and its subjective experience
(including symptoms) are natural accompaniments of spontaneous and
prenatal brain activation that persists throughout life as REM
sleep dreaming. Far from being the nonsense theory that
psychoanalytic opponents mock, Psychodynamic Neurology views the
unconscious as a hyper-meaningful set of predictions about the
world that constitutes a virtual reality model which is
continuously updated by personal experience. To showcase the
changes in psychotherapeutic practice that are recommended, the
self treatment of Dr Glen Just is described in detail.
