Freudian Unconscious and Cognitive Neuroscience - From Unconscious Fantasies to Neural Algorithms (Paperback)

For decades, psychoanalysis has had a monopoly for the unconscious. In the 1980s, however, Cognitive Orientation began focus on consciousness, and that was followed by the boom of study of the unconscious. The unconscious has now been studied in the scope of several empirical settings, and under a variety of concepts implicit memory, implicit knowledge, procedural knowledge, semantic activation without conscious identification, and tacit knowledge.Talvitie and the contributors show how the psychoanalysts answer might be seen in terms of the cognitivists ones it has created an approach, through which phenomena found by psychoanalysts can be studied in the framework of cognitive neuroscience. The approach takes seriously both the clinical data gathered in the scope of clinical practice of psychoanalysis during the past 110 years, and the empirical and theoretical achievements of the present-day cognitive neuroscience and evolutionary theory."
