Biology and the future of psychoanalysis: a new intellectual framework for psychiatry revisited

Article Abstract:

The field of psychoanalysis will enter the 21st century with its influence in decline largely because it has not evolved into a scientific discipline nor developed objective methods for testing its ideas formulated in the first half of the 20th century. To survive as an intellectual force in medicine, in cognitive neuroscience and in society as a whole, the field of psychoanalysis must recognize itself as a branch of biology. For instance, it must incorporate the rich harvest of knowledge about the biology of the brain and its control of behavior.
