This book presents a systematic exploration of the subjective experience, keeping the investigation for the most part within a subjective
first person perspective through the use of “vignettes” as sources of data. It also uses incorporates a ‘’third person” objective approach when that is relevant. The goal of
Journeys in
the Mind is to capture and convey the operations of the mind: both the shared blueprints common to the elaboration of subjective knowledge as well as the immense fishnet of
personalized variables that operate in each mental phase-space and act upon the blueprints to continuously recategorize them into sets of coherent, dynamic outcomes, or mental landscapes. Dr. Sanguineti’s meditative perspective holds the promise to enrich the way we understand the workings of the human mind.

عن المؤلف
Vincenzo Sanguineti, MD, was born in Eritrea and lived there until completion of Medical School at the “Universita’ Degli Studi” in Milan, Italy. He then spent five years in Nigeria, where he conducted published field research in Tropical Medicine and directed a missionary hospital. He profited from the prolonged exposure to uncontaminated natural habitats and from the degrees of difference and similarity among different species and different human cultures, which enhanced his fascination for the interaction between the unique subjectivity of the self and the interactive processes stemming from the profound complexity of the individual and collective variables. Currently, Dr. Sanguineti is in private practice in Philadelphia, where he is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Jefferson Medical Center of the Sidney Kimmel Medical College.
