Finding the Body in the Mind
Embodied Memories, Trauma, and Depression
Introduction
Since the 1990s many different scientific disciplines have intensified their interest in the so called mind-body-problem: psychoanalysis, philosophy, academic psychology, cognitive science and modern neuroscience. The conceptualization of how the mind works has changed completely, and this has profound implications for clinical psychoanalytical practice as well as for theorizing in contemporary psychoanalysis.
Central Topics
The question of how unconscious fantasies and conflicts, as well as traumatic experiences, can be understood and worked through is, and has been, one of the central topics of psychoanalysis.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Interdisciplinary studies from the fields of embodied cognitive science, epigenetics, and cognitive neuroscience offer challenging explanations of the functions in the analyst's mind which might allow him to create spontaneous associations through which he unconsciously understands the traumatic, embodied experiences of the patient.
