But even today, as we enter the  twenty-first century, all too many scientists and analysts maintain that each side  has wholly different models of the origin and nature of those traces. What constitutes  human experience, how does this experience shape us, and how, if at all, do we change  our lives? Psychoanalysis and the neurosciences have failed to communicate about  these questions, when they have not been frankly antagonistic. But in Biology of  Freedom Francois Ansermet and Pierre Magistretti are at last breaking new ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This fully illustrated account, rigorous yet lucid and entirely accessible, shows  how the plasticity of the brain's neural network allows for successive inscriptions,  transcriptions, and retranscriptions of experience, leading to the constitution of  an inner reality, an unconscious psychic life unique to each individual. In what  amounts to a paradigm shift based on the concept of plasticity, this elegant, seamless  collaboration of a psychoanalyst and a neuroscientist bridges the gap between disciplines  formerly believed to be incompatible. Ansermet and Magistretti have opened up new  areas of exploration of the mind\/body connection and profoundly new ways in which  to understand the bodily underpinnings of personal freedom, identity, and change.","brand":"Other Press Professional","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214359818495,"sku":"9781590512227","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781590512227_s600x595.jpg?v=1782319191","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781590512227","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
