"Clinical Studies In Neuropsychoanalysis Revisited | Mental Health

In the past few decades we have accumulated an impressive amount of knowledge regarding the neural basis of the mind. One of the most important sources of this knowledge has been the in-depth study of individuals with focal brain damage and other neurological disorders. This book offers a unique perspective in that it uses a combination of neuropsychology and psychoanalytic knowledge from diverse schools (Freudian Kleinian Lacanian Relational etc.) to explore how damage to specific areas of the brain can change the mind. Twenty years after the publication of Clinical Studies in Neuro-Psychoanalysis this book continues the pioneering work of Mark Solms and Karen Kaplan-Solms bringing together clinicians and researchers from all over the world to report key developments in the field. They present a rich set of new case studies from a diverse range of brain injuries neuropsychological impairments and even degenerative and paediatric pathologies. This volume will be of immense value to those working with neurological populations that want to incorporate psychoanalytic ideas in case formulations as well as for those who want to introduce themselves in the neurological basis of psychoanalytic models of the mind and the broader psychoanalytic community. |Clinical Studies in Neuropsychoanalysis Revisited | Mental Health
