Joining psychoanalysis and neurology remains an unfinished project
Evidence
If this “moment of transition” is now complete, the project of conjoining psychoanalysis and neurology has yet to be accomplished. To integrate psychoanalysis within the history of neurology is at once to insist on the need to renew, or even reform, certain aspects of psychoanalytic theory in light of neurological findings and, inversely, to recognize what a neurology that has entered the “era of subtlety” owes to Freud. — Catherine Malabou, The New Wounded, 443
