Exploring the connections between cognitive science and
psychoanalysis, the authors indicate that a potentially fruitful
relationship can exist between the two fields. The book examines
this relationship, concluding that psychoanalysis can contribute to
a science of the mind when it flows into a more effective science
and technology such as cognitive science.
As viewed by the authors, cognitive science is "a new, lively
field, full of novel concepts and methods about the mind." This is
sharply contrasted with their opinion of psychoanalysis as a
discipline which must change and consider such important problems
in the study of the mind such as fantasies and feelings.
Colby and Stoller do not specify how psychoanalysis must evolve,
but they do make suggestions for future research. They believe that
they are "exercising the prerogative of tribal elders, pass(ing)
the task along to the next generation."
