Lo sviluppo delle Neuroscienze ha portato contributi molto significativi allo studio della mente umana e delle sue funzioni di base: memoria, inconscio, sogno, rimozione, empatia, condivisione di stati affettivi ed emozionali, imitazione, intenzionalità. Tali funzioni costituiscono la base della teoria psicoanalitica della mente e della pratica clinica. In particolare, la scoperta della memoria implicita ha permesso di estendere il concetto di inconscio includendovi quello di inconscio non rimosso i cui contenuti sono correlati alle esperienze primarie infantili.Lo studio con bio-immagini e la scoperta dei neuroni specchio ha inoltre contribuito a far conoscere le basi neurofisiologiche di processi mentali coinvolti nel transfert e nel controtransfert.Il libro, centrato sulla possibile integrazione tra Psicoanalisi e Neuroscienze, è uno strumento essenziale di formazione per psicoanalisti, psicoterapeuti, psichiatri, neurologi e per gli studiosi interessati alle origini e funzioni dell...

The purpose of this book is to demystify the evaluation and management of common psychological disorders and psychosocial issues which impact all realms of medical and mental health practice. These types of issues are often seen as "medical quicksand" by treating professionals, employers, and insurers alike. Consequently, there is a system-wide avoidance of these disorders that significantly increase medical and disability costs. However, there is a considerable cost to individual and society as well in terms of the reduction in the quality of life of the individual and the high costs associated with chronic use of medical resources. It is essential to note the complexity of the psychiatric and psychosocial disability conundrum. This dilemma is not limited solely to short-term, minor problems but leach into the full spectrum of disability systems: private insurance, disability insurance, and federal programs for disabled persons. This book will provide innovative tools to con...
