Book Announcement by Mark J. Blechner<\/strong> (USA)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In\u00a0The Mindbrain and Dreams: An Exploration of Dreaming, Thinking, and Artistic Creation<\/em>, Mark J. Blechner argues that the mind and brain should be understood as a single unit \u2013 the “mindbrain” \u2013 which processes our raw perceptions of the world and reshapes that world through dreams, thoughts, and artistic creation.<\/p>\n

This Routledge book explores how dreams are key to understanding mental processes, and how working with dreams clinically with individuals and groups provides an essential route towards achieving transformation within the psychoanalytic process. Covering such key topics as knowledge, emotion, metaphor, and memory, this book sets out a radical new agenda for understanding the importance of dreams in human thought and their clinical importance in psychoanalysis. Blechner builds on his previous work and takes it much further, drawing on the latest neuroscientific findings to set out a new way of how the mindbrain constructs reality, while providing guidance on how best to help people understand their dreams.<\/p>\n
