Routledge The Unconscious in Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis - Lacan, Freud

The Unconscious in Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis bridges two distinct disciplines through a neuropsychoanalytic and Lacanian lens, offering readers a rigorous exploration of unconscious processes. Marco Maximo Balzarini presents a comprehensive overview of Freud's foundational theory of the unconscious and traces its evolution into contemporary neuropsychoanalytic research. The book examines the influential contributions of leading neuropsychoanalysts, including Mark Solms, Francois Ansermet, and Pierre Magist, demonstrating how classical psychoanalytic concepts have been integrated with modern neuroscience. Part of the Routledge Neuropsychoanalysis Series, this scholarly work is essential for psychologists, psychiatrists, and academic researchers seeking to understand how the unconscious operates at both the theoretical and neurobiological levels. It provides critical insights into the intersection of psychoanalytic thought and neuroscientific discovery.
