Metapsychology and the Foundations of Psychoanalysis redresses
faults in Freud's original conception to develop a coherent
theoretical basis for psychodynamic theory. Simon Boag demonstrates
that Freud's much maligned 'metapsychology', once revised, can
provide a foundation for evaluating and integrating the plethora of
psychodynamic perspectives, by developing a
philosophically-informed position that addresses the embodied,
interconnected relationship between motivation, cognition and
affects. The book centres upon the major concepts in
psychoanalysis, including the notion of unconscious mental
processes, wish-fulfilment, fantasy, and repression. Both
philosophical considerations and empirical evidence are brought to
bear upon these topics, and used to extract the valuable insights
from major approaches. As a result, Boag's revised general
psychology, which stays true to Freud's intention, addresses
psychoanalytic pluralism and shows it is possible to develop a
unified account, integrating the insights from attachment theory
and object relational approaches and acknowledging the rightful
role for neuropsychoanalysis. Metapsychology and the Foundations of
Psychoanalysis will be of interest to psychoanalysts,
psychiatrists, philosophers of mind and psychologists, as well as
anyone concerned with neuropsychoanalysis or psychoanalysis and
attachment theory.
