Psychoanalysis and Complexity

Gabriele Lenti (Italy)

GLentiBkPic9781629483184wwwGabriele Lenti’s new book is a rich and articulate discussion of the controversial relationship between the cognitive method of the human sciences and the method related to the natural sciences.  Psychoanalysis has always been out of step with science in the epistemological field and constantly is in search of an organic relationship to it.  Complexity means something different to psychoanalysts and to those studying the natural sciences, though it provides a common key to understanding processes present in both fields.  The book is written for psychoanalysts, researchers in the field of psychology and psychoanalysis, science philosophers, and epistemologists.
