Reviewing clinical implications of recent advances in Neuropsychoanalysis

In this presentation, Mark Solms will review recent neuroscientific research findings regarding emotional drives and memory, and their implications for our understanding of repression, defence, transference and working through. This overview will lay the foundations for the presentation of a clinical case which will be discussed, firstly, by the presenter from a purely psychoanalytic viewpoint, whereafter Mark Solms will discuss the case from the vantage point of neuropsychoanalysis. The aim will be to demonstrate whether and how the neuropsychoanalytic viewpoint enables us to see new things and therefore to formulate and treat the case differently.
