Based on extensive clinical experience, in-depth study of current neuroscience, and ongoing contemplation on the intricate interplay between the brain and mind, self-identity, and self-awareness, belief, and knowledge, this second edition of Ronald Britton's personal reevaluation of psychoanalytic theories emerges. Spanning three distinct sections—namely, Hysteria, The Ego and Superego, and Narcissism—this revised edition incorporates fresh insights on brain, mind, and self, the enigmatic concept of the death instinct, and a comprehensive exploration of the biological, psychological, and sociological underpinnings of gender. It proposes that our ever-expanding knowledge inevitably leads to a dissolution of our coherent understandings of mind and brain, necessitating a reassessment of our knowledge base. At the core of this profound work lies the notion that human beings must navigate a world characterized by uncertainty, yet yearn for certainty. In pursuit of this elusive ideal, we actively create it for ourselves.
This book holds immense appeal to psychoanalysts engaged in clinical practice and academia, as well as mental health professionals and enthusiasts of psychoanalytic theory. Its comprehensive insights and thought-provoking perspectives will undoubtedly enrich the understanding and application of these complex psychological concepts.
