 | | 1. Biology of Freedom : Neural Plasticity , Experience , and the Unconscious | | | This groundbreaking book delivers a much needed bridge between the neurosciences and psychoanalysis. Freud hoped that the neurosciences would offer support for his psychoanalysis theories at some point in the future: both disciplines, after all, agree that experience leaves traces in the mind. But even today, as we enter the twenty-first century, all too many scientists and analysts maintain that each side has wholly different models of the origin and nature of those traces. What constitutes (more...) |

| | | |  | | 2. Couple Attachments : Theoretical and Clinical Studies | | | The couple relationship is at the centre of this book. The complex nature of the couple attachment is emphasized, drawing both on psychoanalytic concepts and on attachment theory. The chapters aim to integrate theory with practice and can be seen, both separately and together, as offering new insights into the intricate web of psychic fantasies, shared unconscious anxieties and external realities that shape the attachment between the couple. This book will be of great interest to all (more...) |

| | | |  | | 5. Listening to Others : Developmental and Clinical Aspects of Empathy and Attunement | | | This edited volume addresses the critical psychoanalytic issue of effective listening. This issue has been discussed widely in the literature but most often from the standpoint of technique.

| | | |  | | 7. Guilt and Its Visissitudes : Psychoanalytic Reflections on Morality | | | How do psychoanalysts explain human morality? "Guilt and Its Vicissitudes: Psychoanalytic Reflections on Morality" focuses on the way Melanie Klein and successive generations of her followers pursued and deepened Freud's project of explaining man's moral sense as a wholly natural phenomenon. With the introduction of the superego, Freud laid claim to the study of moral development as part of the psychoanalytic enterprise. At the same time he reconceptualized guilt: he thought of it not only as (more...) |
