Unconscious Logic: An Introduction to Matte Blanco's Bi-Logic and Its Uses

Preview:

Eric Rayner, a psychoanalyst in private practice, has written the first clear introduction to MatteBlancos key concepts for psychotherapists and psychoanalysts. While MatteBlancos theories on the structure of the unconscious and the way in which it operates are generally recognized to be the most original since those of Freud, many people find his use of terminology from mathematics and logic difficult to understand. In this book, Rayner sets out the central ideas and then shows, with examples, how they relate to clinical practice. He also describes how the ideas are related to those of people in other disciplinesmathematics, logic, psychology (specifically Piaget), and anthropology, among others. Drawing on the work of a group of people who have been inspired by MatteBlancos thinking to extend their own ideas and test them out in the consulting room, this book reveals the significance of MatteBlancos thought for future research.
