The need for a “psychoanalytical psychology” within the field of the cognitive science
Keywords:
Psychoanalysis, Integration, Scientific study, Intelligence, Cognitive psychologyAbstract
The author highlights the contributions and the potential contributions of the psychoanalysis to the cognitive psychology. The first section of the work includes some basic principles of the psychoanalytic approach on the information processing. The second section shows how the theory of the multiple code provides the basis for building the bridge between the cognitive science and the psychoanalytic field. It points out the need for a sub-field of psychology – the “psychoanalytic psychology”, that comprises the integration of systems within the individual and the adaptive operation, its dissociation in the pathology and the ways by which one can achieve a new integration.
