This book traces the evolution of the concept of the unconscious from an
intangible, metapsychological abstraction to a psychoneurobiological
function of a tangible brain. An integration of current findings in the
neurobiological and developmental sciences offers a deeper understanding
of the dynamic mechanisms of the unconscious. The relevance of this
reformulation to clinical work is a central theme of Schore's other new
book, Right Brain Psychotherapy.
