Psychoanalysis and cognitive science : a multiple code theory
A 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
