Subjective mental states like consciousness, emotion, and dreaming were once confined  to the realm of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the human sciences. These topics  now assume center stage in leading neuroscientific laboratories around the world.  This shift has produced an explosion of new insights into the natural laws that govern  our inner life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By two pioneers in the field, \u003ci\u003eThe Brain and the Inner World\u003c\/i\u003e guides  us through the exciting new discoveries, showing how old psychodynamic concepts are  being forged into a scientific framework for understanding subjective experience.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It is not that the mind is reduced to neurobiology. Rather, thanks to neurobiology,  we are free to believe in the power of the mind. The neurosciences will soon be able  to argue with Plato, Descartes, James, Freud, and Lacan about the mysterious connections  between emotions, experience, will, reason, and creativity.\"Solms and his colleagues are making a brilliant, determined, scrupulous, and (one  wants to say) tactful endeavor to approach, in a new way, the oldest question of  all—the mysterious relation of body and mind.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e —Oliver Sacks, from his Foreword \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This is erudite and  fascinating. The authors show us that modern neuroscience allows us to find neurological  correlates of some basic psychoanalytical concepts, but in doing so, and this is  important, they do not fall into the reductionist explanations so dominant in neuroscience  today. Their approach is refreshing and their arguments are well reasoned.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e —Lesley  Rogers, author of \u003ci\u003eSexing the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Solms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMark Solms is a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst who has done pioneering re-search into brain mechanisms of dreaming.
