Neurobiology of the Unconscious

By George I. Viamontes, MD, PhD; Bernard D. Beitman, MD

The articles in this issue of Psychiatric Annals discuss unconscious processes. The reader will learn about research of the mirror neuron system; the neuroanatomy of unconscious circuits; the distinction between exchanging implicit contents unconsciously and the process of cognitive, verbal exchanges; the manifestation of the unconscious in the psychotherapeutic setting; and how both conscious and unconscious processes create a person’s sense of self.
