'Vesa Talvitie's sophisticated, yet accessible, analysis of the relationship between the Freudian unconscious and cognitive neuroscience should be required reading for both doctrinaire Freudians and those psychologists who are all too eager to consign the Freudian project to the dustbin of history. His philosophical astuteness, impressive grasp of the relevant literatures, and willingness to engage creatively with both psychoanalysts' and cognitivists' thinking make this indispensable reading for anyone seriously interested in understanding the architecture of the human mind and the place of psychoanalysis on the contemporary intellectual landscape.'
