Recenzje

"This series of articles traces David Olds' personal journey to integrate neuroscience findings into psychoanalytic practice, contributing insights into our profession's realization of Freud's goal to unite brain and mind into a scientific psychology."

Bonnie Litowitz, Former Editor of JAPA

 

“At last, David Olds’ papers collected in one volume with his recent thoughts. Olds, a pioneer in the area of mind and brain relations, is a deep thinking psychoanalyst who here gathers his important contributions to the neurology of the mind including his seminal work in semiotics. He brings to neurology the complexity of psychoanalytic thinking and observations, and he brings  basic science to psychoanalysis. He reviews the past 50 years of progress in this area, and in his own work, bringing it up-to-date in a beautifully written summary book. This is a foundational text for understanding neuro- psychoanalysis. It is the perfect text for any course attempting to teach complex, integrated models of mental functioning.”
