Reviews

'This accessible review by Regina Pally of aspects of the neuroscience literature relevant to psychoanalysts performs an immensely valuable service. The explosion of knowledge in this area over the past few decades makes it almost impossible for the uninitiated psychoanalytic reader to find his or her bearings in it. And yet find their bearings they must...This book makes it possible for the non-specialist reader to grasp - almost in a single sitting - the main thrust of contemporary brain research on a range of topics of vital interest to psychoanalysis. Readers are bound to be stimulated to learn more about one or another of these topics, and in this way, they will be effortlessly inducted into this exciting new era of exploration and discovery in mental science.' - Mark Solms.
