This book aims at making explicit the scientific theories, termed
paradigms, that the author has found useful in psychoanalysis. It
lists nine paradigms: genetics, neurobiology, attachment theory,
infant research, trauma, their relational model, the family system,
the socio-cultural level, and prehistory. These nine paradigms are
presented in as many chapters. Special attention is devoted to
attachment theory, which the author considers to be the most
powerful conceptual tool at the disposal of the psychoanalyst. He
also covers trauma, the relational model - with special reference
to Ferenczi, Bowlby and Fromm. He explores the effect of cultural
evolution, with the advent of agriculture, on family and character
structures and the resulting discontinuity with the individual, or
group's inborn needs, giving rise to an unnatural environment, and
thus to psychopathology and pathology at a social level, such as
war. The consequence of these combined factors gives rise to the
need for psychotherapy, this is explored, together with the role of
the therapist and the therapy of psychoses,
