Some comments on the first publication in 2003: There is a sea
change afoot in contemporary psychoanalysis and this brilliant
volume is a manifesto of it. When brain science and clinical
psychoanalysis are put on exactly equal conceptual footing
fascinating possibilities emerge with an intoxicating clarity. Fred
Levin's remarkable volume makes evident how psychoanalysis is
thinking its way into the future. Psychoanalysis has collected a
virtual Tower of Babel of facts. Levin artfully rearranges this
vast material, offering a glimpse into a theoretical integration
only dreamed of a few years ago. Arnold Wilson, Ph.D., Professor of
Psychology, Seton Hall University, New Jersey; Faculty, Columbia
Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, New York. This
book provides a coherent, entirely readable account of an exciting
new area of research regarding brain science and psychoanalysis.
Comprehensive and groundbreaking, accessible to clinicain and
scientists alike, Fred Levin's volume will become essential reading
for anyone seriously concerned with the foundations of
psychoanalysis. His study of neurobiology and human behavior places
both on equal footing while respecting the fundamental dignity of
the patient in the clinical situation. Bertram J. Cohler, Ph.D.,
William Rainey Harper Professor of Human Development, the
University of Chicago.
