Mind-brain and consciousness in psychoanalysis.
Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic January 1, 2008 W W Meissner
The essay examines current neuroscientific views on how the brain generates conscious experience, aiming to bridge psychoanalytic and neuroscientific approaches to the mind-brain relationship. It discusses levels of consciousness, differences between waking and dream consciousness, and self-organization in split-brain studies. The author offers tentative suggestions for clinical implications of this perspective.
