Ignacio Matte-Blanco has made one of the most original contributions to psychoanalysis since Freud.

In this book, which includes an introductory chapter to his work by Eric Rayner and David Tuckett, he develops his conceptualization of the Freudian unconscious in terms of logic and mathematics, giving many clinical examples.
