The Brain and the Inner World

"The Brain and the Inner World" is a long-awaited book about an important revolution taking place in science. Subjective mental states, such as consciousness, emotions, and dreams, have traditionally been of interest to philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the humanities. Currently, leading... neurobiological laboratories around the world are taking an interest in these questions, which has led to new ideas about the natural laws that govern our psyche. Neurobiologists will soon be able to argue with Plato, Descartes, James, Freud, and Lacan about the mysterious connections between emotions, experience, will, mind, and creativity.
The book "The Brain and the Inner World," written by two pioneers in this field, Mark Solms and Oliver Turnbull, introduces us to new exciting discoveries, showing how old psychodynamic concepts are transforming into a scientific basis for understanding subjective experience.
For students, graduate students, teachers, psychologists, psychophysiologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, neurologists, as well as anyone interested in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology.
