The structural-functional organization of psychic epileptic seizures was studied from the findings of complex clinicophysiological examination of 323 patients with epilepsy with the application of stereotaxically implanted long-term multiple intracerebral electrodes. Systemic organization of psychic seizures was determined with the presence of intermediate epileptic foci in the structures of the limbic system. It is shown that selective amygdalohippocampectomy is the most effective intervention in surgical correction of psychic seizures.

This paper explores the concept of drives as basic motivational neurobiological structures determining the organization of psychic life. I express my agreement with Mark Solms' radical reformulation of the general principles organizing human behaviour at the neurobiological and psychodynamic levels, his combination of Friston's computational information theory and Panksepp's affect systems. I agree with him that the affect systems described by Panksepp constitute the primary drives and that the conflicts between affect systems are the origin of unconscious intrapsychic conflict.

Using a critical ethnographic frame that views the inner psychic worlds of subjects as contingent upon larger systems of power and oppression we organize our data around narrative and content themes.
