"This book adeptly develops a numerical model to mathematize psychoanalytic impact on practice. This work distances number theory from quantification, and this will have an impact on analytic institutions and medical practices. It reflects on the urge to empirically quantify the results of psychoanalysis and offers an alternative model."Arka Chattopadhyay, Associate Professor of Literature, Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, IIT Gandhinagar, India“The Mind of Complex Numbers and the Subject in Analysis brings together, in a fluent manner, insights from mathematics, psychoanalysis and Buddhism, while anchored in up-to-date developments in physics and biology.”Anca Carrington, author, The Unconscious as Space: From Freud to Lacan, and Beyond
