Volume 28 of The Annual features stimulating, original essays on
the relationship between psychoanalysis and the neurosciences.
Edelman's Neural Darwinism informs Barry's investigaton of the
psychoanalytic theory of internalization and Fajardo's reassessment
of "breaks in consciousness" whereas Gedo's hierarchical model of
mental functioning informs Fisher's presentation of the treatment
of an autistic child. Elsewhere, Hadley proposes a
neurobiologically distinct motivational system devoted to the
development of autonomy; Solms attempts to bridge psychoanalysis
and the neurophysiology of dreaming; Levin and Trevarthen examine
the relationship of conscious and unconscious functions to the
executive control network (ECN) of the brain; Levin examines the
contributions of chaos theory to psychoanalysis; and Modell
explores metaphor as the crucial aspect of the developing mind and
brain through which cognition itself occurs. Moraitis's examination
of why analysis has been so slow to integrate its findings with the
insights of contemporary neuroscience and cognitive psychology, and
Sadow's reprise on the role of theory in the evolution of
psychoanalysis usefully frame the contributions to this section.
Section II of Volume 28 reengages a subject area for which The
Annual has become well-known. The four characteristically excellent
studies in applied psychoanalysis found here cover the effect of
early father loss on the work of the American watercolorist Charles
Burchfield, "The Creativity of Women," the unconscious influence of
metaphor on attitudes and value judgments, and the application of
self psychology to the dramas of Eugene O'Neill. It is altogether
typical of this fine series that a collection of essays dedicated
to the development of a psychobiologically sophisticated
psychoanalysis should be followed by contributions that testify to
the explanatory vitality of psychoanalysis with respect to issues
of literature, art, and creativity.
