Clinical Studies in Neuropsychoanalysis Revisited

"Understanding the biological underpinnings of human mental functioning as seen through the lens of psychoanalytic observations was, of course, an initial goal of Sigmund Freud. This challenging, but intriguing task has been the focus of neuropsychoanlaysis. This updated edited text by Salas, Turnbull and Solms summarizes in a very interesting manner the evolution of this field of study over the last twenty years. In addition, it provides several useful clinical examples of how psychological work with brain dysfunctional individuals have utilized psychodynamic insights. It is a book that both informs and inspires and is especially helpful in understanding the subjective experiences of some brain dysfunctional individuals." - George P. Prigatano, Ph.D., Barrow Neurological Institute

"This book is a must-read for anyone interested in, or working with, the mysteries of human minds. You will find new hypotheses, discussions, suggestions and examples of clinical cases from the interdisciplinary work of neuropsychoanalysis. This is a young but very important and innovative field proposing a new vision for studying and clinically approaching mental functions. A pleasure to read, it poses engaging, exciting and innovative questions." - Cristina M. Alberini, Professor of Neuroscience, New York University
