This second edition of Ronald Britton's personal reappraisal of
psychoanalytic theories is based on further clinical experience,
further study of current neuroscience and continued reflection on
the relationship of brain and mind, selfhood and self-awareness,
belief and knowledge, and certainty and uncertainty. Divided into
three parts - "Hysteria," "The ego and superego," and "Narcissism"
- this new edition adds content on brain, mind and self, the death
instinct and a discussion on the biological, psychological and
sociological basis of gender. It suggests that our increasing
knowledge necessarily produces a dissolution of our coherent
concepts of mind and brain, and that during this phase of creative
dissolution we need to reassess what we know and what we don't
know. Fundamental to the book is the notion that human beings have
to live with probability but that we long for certainty, and create
it for ourselves. This book will be of great interest to
psychoanalysts in clinical practice and academia, as well as other
mental health professionals and those with an interest in
psychoanalytic theory.
