| Summary |
"Constructing a Mind draws on psychoanalytic theories of mind and recent developments in cognitive science to present the protomental system, a new and original explanatory theory of the development of the human mind." "This book aims to move psychoanalytic theory away from its origins in Freud's theory, toward a model which gives priority to cognition and memory. This, Antonio Imbasciati argues, will make possible a successful and productive integration of psychoanalysis with other areas of psychology."--BOOK JACKET |
