Alexander Luria is considered by many to be the father of neuropsychology. Known to only a few, however, is the fact that Luria was also keenly aware of the emotional aspects of mental life, examining these in conjunction with neurocognitive functioning in a manner similar to what we currently think of as affective neuroscience or affective neuropsychology. Neuropsychoanalytic clinicians Oliver Turnbull and Christian Salas (and their colleagues Alfredo Ardila, Rashad Bagus, and Monica Rossilli) explore this little-known aspect of Luria's work in their article: “Separated at birth: Rediscovering the lost emotions in Luria's Working Brain.” This article is reviewed in the research digest, recounting the intellectual adventure of the re-discovery of the sections specific to emotion in Luria's most famous text (and the translated presentation of these recovered chapters in their entirety).
