Suggested Reading in Neuropsychoanalysis:
We have just added six specialized reading lists to our educational resources on the NPSA website. These suggested readings focus on a number of topics, and are intended for individuals from various fields of expertise. The six reading lists are as follows:
History of Neuropsychoanalysis provides an overview of the genesis and evolution of our transdisciplinary enterprise. It highlights some of the key pioneers and advocates in this field, and draws on their work in bringing the world of subjective experience into dialogue with neuroscientific disciplines. This reading list also offers explanations as to what neuropsychoanalysis is and what subject matter it involves.
Psychodynamic Neuroscience identifies studies and review papers that combine experimental and computational cognitive neuroscience with knowledge derived from metapsychological models – i.e. the brain mechanisms underlying subjective processes. This type of work involves testing psychoanalytic concepts with brain measures, and enriching ongoing neuroscientific exploration with psychoanalytic hypotheses. This exciting new field is shaping the way that metapsychological accounts and predictions are understood by exploring them through the lens of modern neuroscientific tools and techniques. (Thanks to Nikolai Axmacher, Ariane Bazan, Anna Buchheim, and Mathieu Arminjon for their input on this list.)
The Clinical Neuropsychoanalysis list covers literature that documents how work with patients with organic brain injury has been successfully conducted therapeutically to improve outcomes. The readings included also highlight some of the key theoretical positions that serve to inform this much-needed work. (Thanks to Christian Salas, Andrea Clarici, and Kobi Tiberg for their input on this list.)
The Efficacy of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Therapy reading list provides papers in the form of reviews and meta-analyses that demonstrate the efficacy of psychodynamic therapies. (Thanks to John Lundin and Zane Dodd for their input on this list.)
https://npsa-association.org/education-training/suggested-reading/clinical-neuroscience-reading-list/The Clinical Neuroscience list provides references to some of the key auxiliary information from other fields within clinical medicine with which neuropsychologists and other professionals need to be familiar in order to understand the pathologies/conditions of the patients they encounter, along with various medical procedures/investigations that may have been performed. Such fields include neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.
Bridging Psychoanalysis and the Neurosciences before 1999 identifies a number of the key seminal works that helped to forge the path that led to the founding of neuropsychoanalysis as the field as we now know it. Many of these papers date back to the early 1900s and are of great historical significance and interest to the field.
These lists are works in progress and we welcome your input and suggestions. Comments or suggested additions may be sent to Ross Balchin at balchinrm@telkomsa.net.
