{"product_id":"localization-and-its-discontents-katja-guenther-9780226288208","title":"Localization and Its Discontents: A Genealogy of Psychoanalysis and the Neuro Disciplines","description":"Psychoanalysis and neurological medicine have promoted contrasting and seemingly irreconcilable notions of the modern self. Since Freud, psychoanalysts have relied on the spoken word in a therapeutic practice that has revolutionized our understanding of the mind. Neurologists and neurosurgeons, meanwhile, have used material apparatus--the scalpel, the electrode--to probe the workings of the nervous system, and in so doing have radically reshaped our understanding of the brain. Both operate in vastly different institutional and cultural contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Given these differences, it is remarkable that both fields found resources for their development in the same tradition of late nineteenth-century German medicine: neuropsychiatry. In \u003ci\u003eLocalization and Its Discontents\u003c\/i\u003e, Katja Guenther investigates the significance of this common history, drawing on extensive archival research in seven countries, institutional analysis, and close examination of the practical conditions of scientific and clinical work. Her remarkable accomplishment not only reframes the history of psychoanalysis and the neuro disciplines, but also offers us new ways of thinking about their future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katja Guenther\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022628820X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226288208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Katja Guenther","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913426764031,"sku":"9780226288208","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f78b8bcc-21b5-42cf-877c-72dc554f96e1.jpg?v=1680620350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/localization-and-its-discontents-katja-guenther-9780226288208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
