Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and the A-Rational Mind provides a powerful re-appraisal of psychoanalysis and the role it can play in helping us understand human nature. It explores basic psychological phenomena- beliefs, desires, phantasies, wishes - examining a range of fascinating case histories, and explaining their significance.

Dr. Linda A.W. Brakel is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School, where she is Co-Associate Director of the Hunt Memorial Laboratory for Research on Subliminal Processes. She is also Research Associate in the Philosophy Department at the University of Michigan, and a practising psychoanalyst, on the faculty of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. In all of these roles she has had a close acquaintance with psychoanalytic data - data revealing mental phenomena best described as unconscious and a-rational or irrational. For Brakel, these non-rational and non-conscious mental phenomena require empirical investigation and a serious philosophical account. Brakel has thereby done empirical and philosophical work on 'primary process' mentation, a form of thinking different from rational thought. These works have appeared in various academic venues, including psychoanalytic, psychological, and philosophical journals.
