Recenzje

'The Spirit of the Drive is grippingly written and takes the reader on an intricate journey. Indeed, the subject matter presented so seemingly effortlessly is complex and it contains much material in terms of neurobiology and psychoanalytic theories. This is cleverly done because it requires a great deal of knowledge, thought and experience.  The notes are thorough and very comprehensive. I find this book engaging and stimulating. It is thought-provoking and it is both instructive and informative.'

Antoine Mooij, MD, PhD, emeritus professor at Utrecht University, the Netherlands

'What if a most experienced clinician wrote a book that connects ongoing debates in the neurosciences with key insights from psychoanalysts like Freud and Lacan, and applied it to contemporary clinical problems? Well, that book is The Spirit of the Drive in Neuropsychoanalysis, a remarkable achievement by Mark Kinet. Read it!'

Stijn Vanheule, PhD, clinical psychologist and professor of psychoanalysis and clinical psychology at Gent University, Belgium

'The author manages to bring together different psychoanalytic schools of thought with neuroscience as a backbone. The book is rooted in a lifetime of psychoanalytic practice and publishing. It is written in a lucid, at times poetic language. Amazingly original and enriching!'

Rudi Vermote, MD, PhD, emeritus professor at KU Leuven, Belgium

'In summary, this book provides an excellent and interesting overview of the theories of Solms and Bazan, even with a solid critique. The book is smoothly and clearly written with amusing interludia. The author has a great deal of psychoanalytic, neurobiological, philosophical and literary knowledge with which he enriches the theories and makes them extra accessible. The book is definitely recommended for the interested reader.'
