The book is divided into two parts. Part One, \u003cstrong\u003eArt and the Brain\u003c\/strong\u003e, introduces the field of neuro-psychoanalysis and examines the contribution it can make to the discussion of gender and art. Part Two, \u003cstrong\u003eA New Direction for Interdisciplinary Psychoanalysis\u003c\/strong\u003e, draws on the verbal and visual artistry of Samuel Beckett, Paul Klee and Martha Graham to put to the test the proposed new direction for applied psychoanalysis. Lois Oppenheim concludes by addressing the future of psychoanalysis as it becomes increasingly informed by neuroscience and raising questions about what the neurobiology of emotion and feeling has to tell us about the creative experience of an individual and what might constitute a 'neuro-psychoanalytic aesthetics'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Curious Intimacy\u003c\/em\u003e will have great appeal for all those interested in the study of imagination and creativity. It will also be of particular interest to students across the humanities and sciences and to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts wanting to explore the contribution that neuro-psychoanalysis can make to our understanding of the creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLois Oppenheim\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Scholar, Professor of French and Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Montclair State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9.5 x 6.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459211247869,"sku":"9781583918067","price":149.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/MDFWeEJRS0wrTmZPMk5PZk1pNWtsdz09.webp?v=1777253159","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/a-curious-intimacy-art-and-neuro-psychoanalysis-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
