| The mysteries of the human mind.
Often written about, theorized and analyzed, it remains elusive
from completely understanding. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung have
contributed organized speculation which has served as a
fundamental framework for analysts, psychiatrists, philosophers
and the great thinkers of our time. Much work in the present
day scientific community focuses on the physiological and
neurological structures and interactions of the brain but the
mental processes, thought, the inner soul, and the "textures" of
the mind remain not fully understood. Dr Vincenzo Sanguineti, MD
adds, in his writings, an integrated psychobiological basis of the
immense power that underlies our every act and the deep
connectedness with nature that lies ever at hand waiting to be
accessed. |
Welcome
to a Map of (my) Mind
The human
brain is said to be possibly the most complex entity in the
universe. And the study of subjective experience is necessarily the
study of the most complex workings of the mind-brain. However,
subjectivity has been largely expressed through art and literature
and has been avoided as a topic by scientists of the mind. Part of
this lack derives from the difficulty, even impossibility, of
subjecting such material to statistical evaluation. But a more
compelling reason is the individual's reluctance to engage in
self-revelation. Vincenzo Sanguineti, however, does engage in
self-revelation, using his own subjective experiences as sources of
data along with case material on patients in the toils of multiple
personalities and schizophrenia, Kasparov and Deep Thought, Psyche
and Eros.
This web site offers a brief
encounter with Dr Sanguineti's life-long work. Afterwards, enjoy Dr. Sanguineti's
telling of his personal journey and influences in his work.
