Reviews

Brakel's book offers a cogent and original defense of a biological ontology of the mind. Chapters 2 and 3, in which Brakel puts forward a novel explanation of the biological effectiveness of psychoanalysis and a novel way of placing the psychoanalytical mind in the physical world, are of particular interest...this is a refreshing reconceptualization of the psychoanalytic theory of mind. - Claudia Passos-Ferreira, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
