Rapid development of neuroscience in the recent decades allowed to make a number of discoveries with respect to brain functioning and psychic processes. This, in turn, triggered an emergence of neuropsychoanalytical approach, merging psychoanalytic concepts and results of research in neuroscience and gaining a growing number of supporters among psychoanalysts as well as among neuroscientists. Literature review of modern neuropsychoanalytical research is structured in three main parts: 1. Historical and scientific foundation of neuropsychoanalysis;2. Affective and cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychoanalytical approach to studying defense mechanisms, self and dreams;3. Clinical neuroscience and neuropsychoanalytical approach to studying depression and narcissism.
