Simon Boag demonstrates that Freud's much maligned 'metapsychology', once revised, can provide a foundation for evaluating and integrating the plethora of psychodynamic perspectives, by developing a philosophically-informed position that addresses the embodied, interconnected relationship between motivation, cognition and affects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book centres upon the major concepts in psychoanalysis, including the notion of unconscious mental processes, wish-fulfilment, fantasy, and repression. Both philosophical considerations and empirical evidence are brought to bear upon these topics, and used to extract the valuable insights from major approaches. As a result, Boag's revised general psychology, which stays true to Freud's intention, addresses psychoanalytic pluralism and shows it is possible to develop a unified account, integrating the insights from attachment theory and object relational approaches and acknowledging the rightful role for neuropsychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMetapsychology and the Foundations of Psychoanalysis\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, philosophers of mind and psychologists, as well as anyone concerned with neuropsychoanalysis or psychoanalysis and attachment theory. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931623608471,"sku":"9781138926752","price":16185.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138926752.webp?v=1771615075","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/metapsychology-and-the-foundations-of-psychoanalysis-attachment-neuropsychoanalysis-and-integration-9781138926752","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
