In the Mind Fields
Exploring the new science of Neuropsychoanalysis
Summary
Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience may well be the two dominant lenses through which we understand the human mind and the human brain. However, these approaches have traditionally been thought of as separate and conflicting ways of understanding. In her new book In the Mind Fields: Exploring the the New Science of Neuropsychoanalysis (Pantheon, 2015), Casey Schwartz charts the rapprochement emerging at the cutting edge of both contemporary neuroscience and psychoanalysis. The book records Schwartz's own journey to understand these two areas and to understand what they tell us about the mind and brain. In the Mind Fields tracks Schwartz's progress over a decade of research, containing insights from key institutes, practitioners, academics and cases. The book provides a valuable and well written introduction for both academic specialists and the general reader, shedding light on developments in contemporary practice as well as offering an important overview of both the neuroscientific and psychoanalytic traditions.
