'Mark Leffert has shown himself to be the most creative analyst writing today. In this book, in keeping with his other innovative contributions, he demonstrates that modern psychoanalysis is intimately linked with developing knowledge in the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and existential thought. The new work extends and enriches our understanding of psychoanalysis as does none other in the contemporary literature. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the life of the mind.' Theodore Jacobs, training and supervising analyst at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the New York University Psychoanalytic Institute 'Leffert elegantly guides us through multiple personal and social meanings to place contemporary psychoanalysis in the context of human evolution and development. He integrates phenomenology, existentialism, and confronting death. This book offers the reader a profound synthetic cognitive adventure and is strongly recommended for all clinicians and minds interested in modern psychoanalysis.' Peter Loewenberg, professor emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles
