Description

Metapsychology for Contemporary Psychoanalysis by Routledge offers a complete revision of the theoretical foundations used in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Instead of relying on the traditional Freudian drive-defense model, this work proposes a new information processing model of the mind. Richard Sembera explores the idea that the central human need is self-knowledge, suggesting that drives are actually tools used to achieve this goal. The book begins with a detailed reading of Freud's own metapsychological writings to identify the unresolved difficulties and inconsistencies that still affect the field today. This text provides a fresh perspective for those studying the evolution of psychological theory and the mechanics of the human mind.

Key Features

Provides a complete revision of the theoretical underpinnings for psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Replaces the traditional Freudian drive-defense model with a modern information processing model of the mind.

Argues that self-knowledge is the central human need and redefines drives as means to reach that end.

Includes a close reading of Freud's metapsychological writings to identify existing inconsistencies.

Offers a new way to understand the relationship between the mind, the world, and the self.
