The New Wounded

From Neurosis to Brain Damage

Beschreibung

This book addresses the issue of trauma and psychic wounds to stage a confrontation between psychoanalysis and contemporary neurobiology. In so doing, it reevaluates the brain as an organ that is not separated from psychic life but rather appears as its very locus. A philosophical approach of the â new woundedâ (brain lesion patients) forms the matter of the confrontation.
