  • From Dynamic Lesions to Brain Imaging of Behavioral Lesions: Alloying the Gold of Psychoanalysis with the Copper of Suggestion
    Neuropsychoanalysis, 2010, 12 (1) 5 From Dynamic Lesions to Brain Imaging of Behavioral Lesions: Alloying the Gold of Psychoanalysis with the Copper of Suggestion Amir Raz (Montreal) & Joanna B. Wolfson (New York) Contemporary studies in the cognitive neuroscience of attention and suggestion shed new light on psychoanalytic concepts of yore. Findings from neuroimaging studies, for example, seem to revive the notion of dynamic lesions—focal brain changes undetectable by anatomical scrutiny. With technologies such as brain imaging and reversible brain lesion, some findings from modern biological psychiatry seem to converge with nineteenth-century psychiatry, reminiscent of the old masters. In particular, suggestion has been shown to modulate specific neural activity in the human brain. Here we show that “behavioral lesions”—the influence that words exert on focal brain activity—may constitute the twenty-first-century appellation of “dynamic lesions.” While recent research results involving suggestion seem to partially support Freudian notions, correlating psychoanalysis with its brain substrates remains difficult. We elucidate the incipient role of cognitive neuroscience, including the relative merits and inherent limitations of imaging the living human brain, in explaining psychoanalytic concepts. Keywords: fMRI; genetics; hypnosis; neuroscience; ontology; suggestion “It is very probable, too, that the large-scale application of Indeed, these psychological constructs draw on over- our therapy will compel us to alloy the pure gold of analysis lapping brain circuitry, functional neuroanatomy, neuro- freely with the copper of direct suggestion . .” modulators, and cellular structure (Fernandez-Duque Sigmund Freud, Fifth International Psycho-Analytical & Posner, 2001; Posner & Fan, 2004; Raz, 2006; Raz, Congress, Budapest (Freud, 1919 [1918], pp.

  • Mapping the Cerebral Subject in Contemporary Culture DOI: 10.3395/Reciis.V1i2.90En
    [www.reciis.cict.fiocruz.br] ISSN 1981-6286 Researches in Progress Mapping the cerebral subject in contemporary culture DOI: 10.3395/reciis.v1i2.90en Francisco Fernando Vidal Max Planck Institute for the Ortega History of Science, Berlin, Instituto de Medicina Social Germany da Universidade do Estado [email protected] do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [email protected] Abstract The research reported here aims at mapping the “cerebral subject” in contemporary society. The term “cerebral subject” refers to an anthropological figure that embodies the belief that human beings are essentially reducible to their brains. Our focus is on the discourses, images and practices that might globally be designated as “neurocul- ture.” From public policy to the arts, from the neurosciences to theology, humans are often treated as reducible to their brains. The new discipline of neuroethics is eminently symptomatic of such a situation; other examples can be drawn from science fiction in writing and film; from practices such as “neurobics” or cerebral cryopreservation; from neurophilosophy and the neurosciences; from debates about brain life and brain death; from practices of intensive care, organ transplantation, and neurological enhancement and prosthetics; from the emerging fields of neuroesthe- tics, neurotheology, neuroeconomics, neuroeducation, neuropsychoanalysis and others. This research in progress traces the diversity of neurocultures, and places them in a larger context characterized by the emergence of somatic “bioidentities” that replace psychological and internalistic notions of personhood. It does so by examining not only discourses and representations, but also concrete social practices, such as those that take shape in the politically powerful “neurodiversity” movement, or in vigorously commercialized “neuroascetic” disciplines of the self.

  • Freud: Memory and the Metapsychological Witch
    Freud: Memory and the Metapsychological Witch Manuel Batsch Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2015 I, Manuel Batsch confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisors, Juliet Mitchell and Liz Allison for their excellent guidance and generous encouragement during this project. Thanks to their benevolent attention and intelligent advice, I was able to construct and structure my research question. Our supervision meetings were crucial steps in the writing of my thesis and they also remain in my memory as transformative existential moments. I was impressed by the accuracy with which they read and corrected my drafts, a process from which I learnt a great deal. Psychoanalysis and Feminism is an important book in my inner library and often, when I feel threatened by a kind of intellectual inertia, I just have to reread some of its passages to regain a pleasure for thoughts. The seminars and supervisions with Juliet Mitchell have always triggered the same pleasure and inspired in me a form of bravery in thinking. I have been working under the supervision of Liz Allison since my MSc dissertation and throughout these years she has given me the confidence to compose academic work in English. Amongst many other things, I owe to her my introduction to a completely new reading of Derrida. Our Bion reading group was also extremely helpful and had a significant impact on my understanding of metapsychology after Freud.

  • A Bridge Between Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience: an Overview
    1 ISSN 2693-2490 A Bridge between Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience: An Overview of the Neurobiological Effects of Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy Journal of Psychology and Neuroscience Research Article Diego Cohen, MD. PhD *Correspondence author Diego Cohen, MD. PhD Professor of Psychiatry University of Buenos Aries Medical Collage Professor of Psychiatry University of Buenos Aries Medical Collage Submitted : 17 Jun 2021 ; Published : 1 Jul 2021 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the mechanisms by which psychoanalytical psychotherapy can induce neurobiological changes. From Neuroscience which, in accordance with his thinking at the time, Freud never disregarded, the concepts of neuronal plasticity, enriched environment and the neurobiological aspects of the attachment process. From Psychoanalysis, the theory of transference, M. Mahler’s psychological evolution model, the concept of the regulating function of the self-objects and Winnicott’s holding environment concept. Together these provide a useful bridge toward the understanding of the neurobiological changes resulting from psychoanalytical psychotherapy. One concludes that psychoanalytical psychotherapy, through transference, acts as a new model of object relation and learning which furthers the development of certain brain areas, specifically, the right hemisphere, and the prefrontal and limbic cortices, which have a regulating function on affects.

  • BRAINHOOD, ANTHROPOLOGICAL FIGURE of MODERNITY 7 to Support in Detail Such a Thesis, I Want to Suggest That It Makes Both Histori- Cal and Conceptual Sense
    HISTORY OF THE HUMAN SCIENCES Vol. 22 No. 1 © The Author(s), 2009. Reprints and Permissions: pp. 5–36 http://www.sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav [22:1; 5–36; DOI: 10.1177/0952695108099133] Brainhood, anthropological figure of modernity FERNANDO VIDAL ABSTRACT If personhood is the quality or condition of being an individual person, brainhood could name the quality or condition of being a brain. This ontological quality would define the ‘cerebral subject’ that has, at least in industrialized and highly medicalized societies, gained numerous social inscriptions since the mid-20th century. This article explores the historical development of brainhood. It suggests that the brain is necessarily the location of the ‘modern self’, and that, consequently, the cerebral subject is the anthropological figure inherent to modernity (at least insofar as modernity gives supreme value to the individual as autonomous agent of choice and initiative). It further argues that the ideology of brainhood impelled neuroscientific investigation much more than it resulted from it, and sketches how an expanding constellation of neurocultural discourses and practices embodies and sustains that ideology. Key words brainhood, brain imaging, cerebral subject, modernity, neuroculture, self INTRODUCTION The hype about neuroscientific results, especially those that come in the form of brain scans, began in the early 1990s, and shows no signs of relenting. It is not, however, a purely media event. In addition to the manifold develop- ments it might be connected to – from the rise of biological psychiatry and Downloaded from hhs.sagepub.com at Mina Rees Library/CUNY Graduate Center on February 21, 2015 6 HISTORY OF THE HUMAN SCIENCES 22(1) the interests of pharmaceutical industries to the privatization of health systems and the interests of insurance companies – the neuroscientific hype highlights the ascendancy, throughout industrialized and highly medicalized societies, of a certain view of the human being.

  • The Neural Basis of the Dynamic Unconscious
    Neuropsychoanalysis, 2011, 13 (1) 5 The Neural Basis of the Dynamic Unconscious Heather A. Berlin (New York) A great deal of complex cognitive processing occurs at the unconscious level and affects how humans behave, think, and feel. Sci- entists are only now beginning to understand how this occurs on the neural level. Understanding the neural basis of consciousness requires an account of the neural mechanisms that underlie both conscious and unconscious thought, and their dynamic interac- tion. For example, how do conscious impulses, thoughts, or desires become unconscious (e.g., repression) or, conversely, how do unconscious impulses, desires, or motives become conscious (e.g., Freudian slips)? Research taking advantage of advances in technologies, like functional magnetic resonance imaging, has led to a revival and re-conceptualization of some of the key concepts of psychoanalytic theory, but steps toward understanding their neural basis have only just commenced. According to psychoanalytic theory, unconscious dynamic processes defensively remove anxiety-provoking thoughts and impulses from consciousness in re- sponse to one’s conflicting attitudes. The processes that keep unwanted thoughts from entering consciousness include repression, suppression, and dissociation. In this literature review, studies from psychology and cognitive neuroscience in both healthy and patient populations that are beginning to elucidate the neural basis of these phenomena are discussed and organized within a con- ceptual framework. Further studies in this emerging field at the intersection of psychoanalytic theory and neuroscience are needed. Keywords: unconscious; psychodynamic; repression; suppression; dissociation; neural “Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.” 1998a). Early psychodynamic theorists attempted to Ludwig Wittgenstein [1889–1951] explain phenomena observed in the clinic, but lat- er cognitive scientists used computational models of the mind to explain empirical data.

  • Humoural Bodies and Balanced Minds
    Situating Mental Illness: Between Scientific Certainty and Personal Narrative Berlin, 28-29 April 2011 Humoural bodies and balanced minds It’s a tall order to speak after these wonderfully rich, wide-ranging, provocative papers – and thank you Giovanni for your generous invitation, and for organizing such a stimulating conference. Since my talk closes it, I want to take us further away from where we stand today than we have so far – beyond the immediate European past, beyond the immediate cultural framework within which we have been speaking, and also into our bodies. I would begin, if you may, on a personal note – for my father died exactly one year ago today. So today is his Jahrzeit, and it seems perfect to mark it here - he would be proud to see me standing at this podium, and I would like to think he would appreciate what I have to say now. He died without believing in an after-life – he was too much of a naturalist, too passionate a follower of scientific endeavours to imagine that anything could survive our bodies once they stopped working, to believe that the mind could outlive the brain. He believed in some sort of soul, I think, but did not dare pronounce himself as to the possibility of its survival. Survival was of the work – he was a painter, and his work is what remains of his embodied existence.[2] He counted on that to be the case. Of course genetic material also survives – and indeed, he died knowing I was carrying a baby, his grandson, who was born two months later, guaranteeing a continuum, and representing a genetic reincarnation of sorts.
