Although there have been efforts to integrate the explosion of knowledge in neuroscience with psychoanalysis in the last decade, these attempts have had little effect on the clinical practice of analysis. Fred Levin, a faculty member in the departments of both neurology and psychiatry at the University of Chicago, and one of the small but growing group of analysts knowledgeable about advances in neuroscience, aims to change that with this book, a follow-up to his 1991 publication, Mapping the Mind. His (quite reasonable) assumption is that the theory of treatment utilized in psychoanalysis should not conflict with what we are learning about how the brain functions.
