Physiological & neuro-psychology, biopsychology; Conscious & unconscious

Series: Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology

More than one hundred years after Freud began publishing some of his seminal theories, the concept of the unconscious still occupies a central position in many theoretical frameworks and clinical approaches. When trying to understand clients' internal and interpersonal struggles it is almost inconceivable not to look for unconscious motivation, conflicts and relational patterns. Clinicians also consider it a breakthrough to recognise how our own unconscious patterns have interacted with those of our clients.

Although clinicians use concepts such as the unconscious and dissociation, in actuality many do not take into account the newly emerging neuropsychological attributes of nonconscious processes. As a result, assumptions and lack of clarity overtake information that can become central in our clinical work.

This revolutionary book presents a new model of the unconscious, one that is continuing to emerge from the integration of neuropsychological research with clinical experience.

Reviews for The Neuropsychology of the Unconscious: Integrating Brain and Mind in Psychotherapy

"""Sigmund Freud began his career as a neurologist and neuroanatomist, and he remained convinced throughout his life that one day psychoanalysis would reconnect with neuroscience. The Neuropsychology of the Unconscious fulfills his prediction, exploring the inner dynamics of psychology in the light of modern neuroscience. By providing a high-level interdisciplinary integration, this readable and engaging book furthers the understanding of difficult clinical problems for psychotherapists and psychoanalysts."" -- Lewis Aron, PhD, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis ""Efrat Ginot's remarkable new book shatters our long-held view of the unconscious as a repository for unwanted experience. In this absorbing volume, Ginot deftly displays her extraordinary ability to understand the human brain and simultaneously ground decades of neuroscience research in everyday human experience and clinical practice. The Neuropsychology of the Unconscious is unique in its application of brain science to the passionate pursuit of empathy and transformation. "" -- Karen J. Maroda, PhD, ABPP, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI"
