Moderators: Edith Laufer and Alice Entin

Sunday, June 8, 2014
5:30 – 7:30 PM
at NPAP, 40 West 13 Street*

We are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the creation of the Neuropsychoanalytic Clinical Study Center at NPAP which grew out of a series of NPAP lectures given by Dr. Solms, a renowned neuropsychoanalyst, at the invitation of the Continuing Education Committee. This is a history we treasure with Dr. Solms as the Educational Director of the Center.

Dr. Solms will discuss the theory of depression, drawing from a broader and more interdisciplinary view, as he looks at a psychoanalysis of a non-brain-injured patient. This presentation will address how neuroscience can be applied in the consulting room and what is happening in the brain during treatment. It will raise questions such as: Does knowledge of the brain’s function help us understand the mind? Does it give the psychoanalyst a firmer grip on insight? Does it help us listen?

We hope to celebrate a remarkable and rare occasion! Please join us.
