Interface of Psychoanalysis and Psychology

Over 100 years ago, the disciplines of psychoanalysis and psychology began. They have since proceeded mainly along independent lines. This text reflects efforts to build conceptual bridges between psychoanalysis and relevant areas of psychological research, to identify historic and contemporary points of divergence, and to suggest directions for future research which might enrich both disciplines. Researchers in various fields of psychology - development, motivation, cognition, information processing, and perception - will find this book helpful in generating hypotheses about the impact of unconscious processes on the phenomena under investigation.
