Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Science: A Multiple Code TheoryA century ago, Freud demonstrated both the influence of unapprehended thought on our feelings and behaviors, and the power of language to bring about lasting emotional and somatic change. Although Freud's concepts underlie most forms of psychotherapy practiced today, his basic theory of mind - the metapsychology - does not mesh with current scientific view in psychology and related fields. Filling a significant void, this illuminating volume from cognitive scientist and psychoanalytic researcher Wilma Bucci proposes a new model of psychological organization that integrates psychoanalytic theory with the investigation of mental processes. Solidly rooted in current cognitive science, the author's multiple code theory rejuvenates clinical psychoanalysis and lays a strong foundation for ongoing empirical research. A clinically grounded, empirically driven reconceptualization of psychoanalytic theory, this volume will be welcomed by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic practitioners, as well as researchers and students of psychotherapy. It will also be of interest to experimental psychologists and others concerned with the interaction of language, mind, bodily experience, and emotion. |
