The Unconscious explores the critical interdisciplinary dialogue
between psychoanalysis and contemporary cognitive neuroscience.
Characterised by Freud as 'the science of the unconscious mind',
psychoanalysis has traditionally been viewed as a solely
psychological discipline. However recent developments in
neuroscience, such as the use of neuroimaging techniques to
investigate the working brain, have stimulated and intensified the
dialogue between psychoanalysis and these related mental sciences.
This book explores the relevance of these discussions for our
understanding of unconscious mental processes. Chapters present
clinical case studies of unconscious dynamics, alongside
theoretical and scientific papers in key areas of current debate
and development. These include discussions of the differences
between conceptualisations of 'the unconscious' in psychoanalysis
and cognitive science, whether the core concepts of psychoanalysis
are still plausible in light of recent findings, and how such
understandings of the unconscious are still relevant to treating
patients in psychotherapy today. These questions are explored by
leading interdisciplinary researchers as well as practising
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists. This book aims to bridge the
gap between psychoanalysis and cognitive neuroscience, to enable a
better understanding of researchers' and clinicians' engagements
with the key topic of the unconscious. It will be of key interest
to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields
of psychoanalysis, cognitive science, neuroscience and
traumatology. It will also appeal to practising psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists and clinicians.
