NeuroAnalysis investigates using the neural network and neural computation models to bridge the divide between psychology, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience when diagnosing mental health disorders and prescribing treatment. Avi Peled builds on Freud's early attempts to explain the neural basis of mental health by introducing neural computation as a bridging science to explain psychiatric disorders. Peled describes the brain as a complex system of interconnected units and goes on to suggest that conscious experience, feelings, and mood are emergent properties arising from these complex organisations. This model describes mental health disorders in terms of perturbation to the optimal brain organisation, and demonstrates how particular disorders can be identified through a specific breakdown pattern of the brain’s organisation. This fresh approach to the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders will interest students, professors, and researchers of psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and their related fields.

The title of this manuscript is ambitious, especially in 2012 when mental disorders are neither explained nor cured (in the sense of permanently eliminating all clinical manifestations). Knowledge about the workings of the brain is speedily accumulating and the relevance of the new knowledge to understanding mental disorders is already becoming evident. However this knowledge is not reaching psychiatrists for a variety of reasons, mainly education. Even though neuroscience is penetrating the curriculum of psychiatry, some critically relevant findings about the brain as a complex, non-linear dynamic system are not. An intellectual exercise of combining knowledge about the workings of the brain as a physical complex and dynamic system, with knowledge about clinical manifestations of mental disorders offers an exciting new outlook that, in my mind, will revolutionize psychiatry. It will be such a colossal revolution that psychiatry, psychology and neurology will be unified into one brain-related discipline which I would call "NeuroAnalysis" where "Neuro" relates to neurology and the adjoined term of "analysis" relates to systems, diagnosis and treatment.If one wants to bring together knowledge from complex systems, the brain, physics and psychiatry this should be done in the context of redefining mental disorders as brain disorders. This will put psychiatry in line with the rest of medicine, but more importantly it will offer a conceptual framework to direct interventions that will become effective therapies for curing mental disorders.This manuscript will formulate a brain-related literature-based comprehensive diagnostic taxonomy for psychiatry and call it "NeuroAnalysis" I will demonstrate how it can be readily applicable to the clinical bed-side work of the clinician, and I will describe how to validate it. Finally I will discuss how future therapies based on NeuroAnalysis will be effective. This manuscript is intended for a wide spectrum of readers, I want it to be appealing to laypersons in order to attract them to participate in this field (e.g., students and pre-students wanting to choose psychiatry as their field of training), but it must also be directly relevant to the expert professional and researcher whose task is to validate it, using the testable predictions as research designs of practical concrete research protocols. Thus the layperson will find putative answers for many perplexing questions that often rise concerning mental disorders. The professional will find endless testable predictions, enough for a century of scientific psychiatric research.

International Best Seller "I agree with Naskar that the path of tolerance is the only way." - Daniel C. Dennett Two Hundred Thousand years ago, we the sapiens were just a newly evolved species in a corner of Africa. Eventually we transformed ourselves into the master of the entire planet. We tamed our surroundings, increased food production, built civilizations and established empires. Unfortunately, despite all our astonishing achievements whenever it comes to religion, we humans become primitively narrow-minded. We have advanced from canoes to galleys to steamships to space shuttles, yet often many of us humans find it extremely difficult to look beyond the textual fanaticism of the scriptures. If all the religious leaders of humanity intended to teach the lessons of love and compassion, then why are there so many conflicts in this civilized world? The answer can be found inside the magnificent neural circuitry of the human brain. Abhijit Naskar, bestselling author and one of the world’s celebrated neuroscientists shows us a way out from the religious conflicts. He shows the possibility of a better world, where science doesn’t collide with religion. He shows the construction of a world, where people from all religious backgrounds embrace each other and live in harmony. Naskar uses the tools of modern neuroscience to analyze the human perception of religions and shows us the path towards universal tolerance.

This volume illustrates to the public, and legal experts, the basic principles of the field of neuroscience, that commonly goes under the name of Neurolaw. First, it illustrates the relationship between neuroscience, natural sciences and social sciences. Furthermore, it highlights numerous problems concerning the fundamental philosophical concepts used by Neurolaw and evaluates the validity of the method and the limits of a neuroscientific approach to the problems of law and justice.The volume explores the possibility of application of these concepts on the fundamentals of the general theory of law and legal dogmatics. It also examines the main problems of Neurolaw in relation to public, private, criminal and procedural law. In conclusion, the book follows a systematic method that makes it an thorough manual for the introduction to Neurolaw.

Psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, other mental health workers, behavioral scientists, and university medical and neuroscience professionals will benefit from this articulate insider's view of post-World War II psychiatry in Changing American Psychiatry: A Personal Perspective by Melvin Sabshin, M.D. Dr. Sabshin served as Medical Director of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for 23 years, from 1974 to 1997, during a period of perhaps the greatest change in psychiatry since the World War II produced a dramatic modification of practice. The author describes in detail two extraordinary periods of change, the first stimulated by laudatory efforts to understand the high rate of psychiatric casualties among World War II veterans and to provide treatment for them. Psychiatry grew quickly during the postwar years, considerably influenced by the immigration of many Central European psychoanalysts. Gradually, however, psychiatry began to weaken its ties to medicine and lost much of its public respect. By the 1970s, postwar optimism had been replaced by widespread concern that psychiatric practice was being dominated by unsubstantiated formulations rather than reliable evidence. Psychiatry was dramatically impacted by enormous pressure for therapeutic accountability exerted by a managed care reimbursement system. The profession recognized the need for a new direction and resolved to change. In the foreword to the book, current APA Medical Director James H. Scully Jr., M.D., notes that Dr. Sabshin has woven a personal journey of the history of the intellectual conflicts and changes in the field of psychiatry in the post-war era, culminating in the remedicalization of psychiatry and the development of the DSM-III. Dr. Sabshin encourages psychiatric professionals to change the field so it can employ an empirically based "bio-psycho-social" model that has the potential to revitalize the next phase of American psychiatry. He details how the potential for the future of psychiatry can be enhanced by today's practicing professionals, stressing the: Need to incorporate the rapid developments of neuroscience into a professional practice that is increasingly integrated with empirically demonstrated psychological and social influences upon mental illness. Importance on continued research that is fed back into practice and keeps the professional evidence-based. Need of psychoanalysis to make its beliefs explicit, formulating hypotheses that can be tested scientifically in order to be employed reliably in evidence-based practice. This well-crafted historical account describes how the profession has become a more respected and accountable part of medicine and how it scientific credentials have risen as a result. Dr. Sabshin concludes that the use of psychological understanding and psychotherapies must play a major role combined with psychopharmacology in the treatment of psychiatric patients.

A complete introduction to the theory and practice of contemporary counselling psychology An excellent resource for students at undergraduate or graduate level, Counselling Psychology: A Textbook for Study and Practice provides valuable insights into the key issues associated with theory and practice in this field. The contributors represent a diverse array of approaches, reflecting the rich diversity within the area, and care is taken to avoid favouring any one approach. The book begins with an overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of counselling psychology, before taking a detailed look at major therapeutic approaches and exploring issues associated with specific client populations, ethics, research design, and more. In particular, the text seeks to explain how counselling psychology differs from and informs other areas of contemporary applied psychology. The result is an engaging balance of the personal and academically rigorous, presented in a highly accessible format. • An authoritative introduction to and key issues involved with the theory and practice of counselling psychology for students and practitioners at all levels • Considers all major approaches to psychotherapy including existential, person-centered experiential, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural • Explores issues commonly encountered when working with specific client groups including children, people with intellectual disabilities, and emergency trauma victims

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the mind has prompted a prominent team of experts in the field to put their heads together and fire up a book on the subject. Simply titled Principles of Neural Coding, this book covers the complexities of this discipline. It centers on some of the major developments in this area and presents a complete assessment of how neurons in the brain encode information. The book collaborators contribute various chapters that describe results in different systems (visual, auditory, somatosensory perception, etc.) and different species (monkeys, rats, humans, etc). Concentrating on the recording and analysis of the firing of single and multiple neurons, and the analysis and recording of other integrative measures of network activity and network states—such as local field potentials or current source densities—is the basis of the introductory chapters. Provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach Describes topics of interest to a wide range of researchers The book then moves forward with the description of the principles of neural coding for different functions and in different species and concludes with theoretical and modeling works describing how information processing functions are implemented. The text not only contains the most important experimental findings, but gives an overview of the main methodological aspects for studying neural coding. In addition, the book describes alternative approaches based on simulations with neural networks and in silico modeling in this highly interdisciplinary topic. It can serve as an important reference to students and professionals.
