When pondering the idea that “analysts
benefit from familiarizing
with the findings of neuroscience”, the commentator goes further
mentioning the benefits that neuroscientists
find themselves, exploring the
complex problems of subjectivity
and having learned and still continue
to do
so from the results and the history
of over a century of psychoanalytical
research, which profound insights
can give way to experimental research,
given the numerous coincident areas
between both disciplines.
To such extent, he opens to discussion
the experimental findings of the
Neuroscience and some conceptual
models used as foundation.
He especially makes reference to
two coincident points between both
sciences: emotion and memory.
He regards it as a finding by the
author when analyzing the idea
that the emotional unconscious “has eyes and can see”,
while the unconscious of
psychosis “is blinded”. |
