Thanks for the links and suggestions.
I'll follow up on the names. I'll see if I can get "The neuroscience of psychotherapy" in from the library because there is a chapter in there on the relation between neurology and psychotherapy.
I had heard that there is less emphasis on the psychic structures these days.
I had heard that some people think of them as metaphoric and not as attempted descriptions of functional neurological units. To take them as metaphoric seems to be to take the theory that posits those entities to be an art rather than a science, however.
I guess what I'm really looking for are short(ish) articles available online that might introduce one to the topic of the neurobiology of psychoanalysis. Just trying to grasp what the project is supposed to be for those who think that psychoanalysis is a science.
Basically... To see how that project fits in with biomedical research and research in cognitive psychology etc.
I'll google the names, though, and see what I can find.
Thanks.
