(Philosophy and Psychoanalysis) 1st Edition
by John Turtz (Editor), Gerald J. Gargiulo (Editor)
This
compelling collection illuminates new models and metaphors taken from
the contemporary sciences and philosophical thought to revitalize and
recontextualize psychoanalysis for the 21st century.
The
exploration of quantum mechanics, chaos and complexity theory,
epigenetics, and neuropsychoanalysis provides the reader with new layers
of meaning and understanding that in turn lead to an enriching of
psychoanalytic theory and a deepening of experience in the consulting
office. The intersection of psychoanalysis, contemporary sciences, and
philosophy leads the reader to new worlds that can transform the lens
from which one views the psychoanalytic process.
Written
for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as scholars of
psychoanalysis that are interested in the intersection of
psychoanalysis, contemporary science, and philosophy, Enriching Psychoanalysis: Integrating Concepts from Contemporary Science and Philosophy expands the focus and meaning of current psychoanalytic theory and practice.
