Learned, lucid and original, Britton sets out a modern account of psychoanalysis amidst the major intellectual and scientific currents of the twenty-first century. Post-Darwin, post-Newtonian mechanics and in the light of neuroscience, we must find new conceptions both of the mind and of the behaviour of Homo sapiens. Britton's work impresses and enlightens because, as one of our generation's truly outstanding clinicians, he never departs from the discipline of psychoanalytic investigation. Britton's discussion of natural, unnatural and supernatural belief in human affairs, and the inevitability of the deepest levels of phantasy that exist at the core of language, thought, and world view, offers profound insight both to specialist and non-specialist alike. --David Taylor, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at Institute of Psychoanalysis, Clinical Director, Tavistock Adult Depression Study; and Visiting Professor at UCL Psychoanalysis Department
