Reseña del editor

Psychoanalysts and neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers all deal with the brain and behavior, but often without any understanding of how the two are related. In this volume, the author explains "basic mechanisms" and proposes specific mind-brain correspondences in a clinically relevant way that will be helpful to professionals in all these disciplines. Focusing on clinical concepts like defense, repression, and disavowal, Levin proposes novel connections between such features of mental life and specific neuropsychological mechanisms. These correspondences, in his view, point to isomorphic principles associated with the structures and functioning of the brain.
