Memory in Mind and Brain

The nature of memory, dreams, and how the brain works is explored in this text. The author takes a multidiscipliniary approach, using data from neuroscience, psychology, biology and artificial intelligence to produce a contemporary psychobiological model of the dream process. In this book an eminent psychiatrist integrates data from neuroscience, psychology, biology, artificial intelligence, and psychoanalysis to examine the nature of memory and dreams and to explore the crucial role of emotion in organizing memory. Establishing a correspondence between psychoanalytic and neurobiological principles, Dr. Reiser elaborates a contemporary psychobiological model of the dream process.
