"The intimate link between failure of self-knowledge and psychological disorder is evident in the...pioneering work by Freud... [He] viewed the processes involved in self-knowledge and ignorance as intrapsychic one of Freud's crucial observations was that failure of self-knowledge typically serves a defensive function... [The] intra-psychic and the interpersonal, though distinguishable, are interwoven; as are ignorance, distortion of reality, and defence."

"Psychoanalysis still represents the most coherent and intellectually satisfying view of the mind...[A] genuine dialogue between biology and psychoanalysis is necessary if we are to achieve a coherent understanding of mind...[The] strengths of psychoanalysis are its scope and the complexity of the issues it addresses, strengths that cannot be diminished by biology. Just as medicine has time and again provided direction to biology, and psychiatry to neuroscience, so can psychoanalysis serve as a skillful and reality-oriented tutor for a sophisticated understanding of the mind-brain."
