Publisher's Synopsis
Clinical psychologists, cognitive psychologists, neuropsychologists, social psychologists and developmental psychologists have all become increasingly interested in studying unconscious mental processes empirically. In the words of the editors, "The study of the unconscious has the potential to become the unifying force in psychology, linking cognition and emotion, infancy and old age, normal and pathological development, brain and psyche".;In this collection of seven chapters, clinician-researchers active in the fields of psychology and psychiatry summarize and review the ever-expanding and evolving body of empirical studies on the concept of the unconscious and indicate the directions in which research is likely to continue.
