Desire, Self, Mind, and the Psychotherapies unifies psychological science with contemporary relational psychoanalysis, arguing that the disciplines can be integrated if the concept of repression is understood as motivated forgetting, creative aspects of unconscious processes are taken into account in cognitive science, and a "new experiences" model of change is acknowledged by psychoanalysts. Such a model of change allows for integration of behavioral, cognitive, visual, and other techniques into a psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy.This book will be of interest to mental health professionals, psychoanalysts, psychologists, and psychotherapists.

Summary: Toward a Psychoanalytically-Informed Psychological ScienceChapter 12 Epilogue

In this exceptionally readable and engaging book, Rebecca Curtis explains and integrates the clinically most useful and scientifically most tenable insights from relational psychoanalysis, cognitive and social psychology, and affective neuroscience. Much of existing psychoanalytic writing is words about words, speculative theories about prior speculative theories–bad poetry that meshes poorly with the growing body of empirical evidence in psychology and neuroscience. Curtis adroitly sidesteps or cuts through the accumulated verbiage and, without bias or rancor, offers a thoughtful, very wide-ranging, deeply anchored, and refreshingly realistic conception of desire, self, mind, and psychological transformation. The book will be extremely useful to both clinicians and researchers.
