Reviews and Endorsements

"In this remarkable volume, the contributors demonstrate that advances in both science and the philosophy of science require profound reconsideration of psychoanalytic assumptions. The authors deserve particular praise for their nuanced appreciation for the arguments that would challenge their views." - Mark Finn, PhD, Teaching and Supervisory Faculty at WCSPP.

"The authors, very well versed in both psychoanalysis and contemporary science, illuminate the parallels between the two, with particular emphasis on shared metaphors. The cross fertilization is made clear by their excellent writing and impressive scholarship." - Irwin Hirsch, PhD, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and The William Alanson White Institute.

"This volume makes the urgent plea for psychoanalysis to embrace fresh models and metaphors to remain vital and relevant in the 21st century. By braiding psychoanalysis with contemporary science – quantum physics, chaos theory, epigenetics and neuropsychoanalysis – Turtz and Gargiulo offer us an essential and readily accessible guide that enriches our understanding of both the mind and the human condition." - Janet Zuckerman, PhD, Faculty and Former Director of WCSPP, Clinical Consultant, NYU Postdoctoral Program.
