Focusing on the relationship between perception and mental processes, this book presents a dynamic theory derived from clinical studies of brain-damaged patients.

Through extensive essays, it explores topics such as imagery, reality versus illusion, the nature of time, subjectivity, will and agency, as well as psychoanalysis and group psychology, providing a comprehensive understanding of mental function.
