ABSTRACT
That mind, consciousness, human experience, and subjectivity emerge out of the developing and organizing neurobiological matrix has become the shared focus of neurologists, neurobiologists, and psychoanalysts in the recent decade (Edelman, 1992; Levin, 1991, 1997). Interdisciplinary work on neural development and anatomic localizations have given credence and vigor to psychoanalytic developmental models; the unquestionable facts that we live in our bodies and that our sense of self is rooted in a period well before language begins have been further deepened and enriched by recent research exploring the interplay of mind and brain.
