Reviews"This volume is cogent, informed, and clearly written. It is a powerful antidote to the prevalent skepticism regarding the possibility of establishing psychoanalytic theory upon a scientific model of the mind."--The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, "Wilma Bucci in this valuable book presents a psychological model that explains in a satisfying way the different kinds of meaning inherent in an informational model of psychological and psychoanalytic theory....This is a thoroughly reasoned and researched book, well written and fascinating to read. It is so densely packed with information that it repays the effort to read it more than once. It is of interest to psychoanalysts, but also to any student of mind-brain function. It is one of the few books currently available that show the possibility of a scientific underpinning for psychoanalysis." --Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "This volume is cogent, informed, and clearly written. It is a powerful antidote to the prevalent skepticism regarding the possibility of establishing psychoanalytic theory upon a scientific model of the mind." --The Psychoanalytic Quarterly "...presents a compelling case for continuing to regard psychoanalysis as a science and an equally compelling case for how we might revise and reformulate psychoanalytic theory to render it compatible with current developments in cognitive psychology....I very much liked Bucci's book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing psychoanalysis remain a scientifically relevant discipline and would recommend it even more strongly to those who seek a divorce between psychoanalysis and science." --Psychoanalytic Books "For analysts who want to know what the future of psychoanalysis will be like, and maybe even what it will take for analysts to get with it, Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Science should have a very high priority." --Journal of The American Academy of Psychoanalysis "Suitable for graduate students through professionals." --Choice, "For many years Dr. Wilma Bucci has been engaged in critical research on the psychoanalytic process and has developed her multiple code theory. Her new book,Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Science: A Multiple Code Theory, is, in many ways, a culmination of her long years of empirical and theoretical work. It is a remarkable book that succeeds in linking psychoanalytic theory both to the world of cognitive science and to empirical research on psychoanalytic treatment. It seems to me that the future of psychoanalysis lies in its openness to empirical work and to concepts and developments in other disciplines. There are few books that, at one and the same time, remain faithful to the concrete realities of psychoanalysis and are able to integrate it into the larger world of theories of mind. This is such a book. For anyone interested in psychoanalysis, this book is a 'must read.'" --Morris Eagle, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University; Past-President, Division of Psychology, American Psychological Association "Wilma Bucci provides a thoughtful synthesis of two fields that have traditionally ignored one another. Broad in scope,Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Scienceexplores many exciting intersections between clinical and experimental approaches. This well-written, often provocative book should provide a foundation for productive and long overdue exchanges between clinicians and cognitive scientists." --Daniel L.

Part III The multiple code theory and the referential cycle: basic concepts of The Multiple Code Theory; The Emotion Schemas And Their Vicissitudes; linking feelings and words - the referential cycle; the referential cycle in free association; the referential cycle on fantasies and dreams; the multiple code theory and metapsychology; empirical studies of the analytic process; notes concerning the psychoanalytic research agenda. Last words - 1 - the Tower of Babel - 2 - the dead man's tale.

SynopsisAlthough psychoanalytic concepts underlie most forms of psychotherapy practiced today, the basic Freudian theory of mind the metapsychology does not mesh with current scientific views in psychology and related fields. As a result, despite its many strengths, psychoanalysis has been relegated to the periphery by clinicians and researchers alike. Filling a significant void, this book from cognitive scientist and psychoanalytic researcher Wilma Bucci proposes a new model of psychological organization that integrates psychoanalytic theory with the investigation of mental processes. Solidly rooted in current cognitive science, multiple code theory recognizes the focus on meanings and motives that is intrinsic to psychoanalytic clinical work. The theory points to parallel functions underlying free association and dreams, as well as conceptual development in children and creative work in sciences and the arts, and provides a strong foundation for empirical research on the psychoanalytic treatment process., This work offers a multiple code theory for psychoanalysis and cognitive science and explores the factors dividing the two. It reviews the historical role of theory in psychoanalysis and introduces current work in cognitive psychology., This work reviews the historical role of theory in psychoanalysis and explores the factors dividing cognitive science and psychoanalysis. Chartin g a path through Freud's ideas about the psyche, the volume points out the inconsistencies in his theories that have drawn psychoanalysis away from the scientific approach. Also reviewed is discourse on the metapsychology that has arisen since Freud's time. Introducing current work in cognitive psychology, the book examines research with relevance to a psychoanalytic model, including work in emotions, child development and neuroscience.
