Neuropsychoanalysis Seminars

Neuropsychoanalysis is an interdisciplinary approach bridging Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis, in order to combine the findings regarding the human mind and the brain. International Society for Neuropsychoanalysis was founded in 2000, by the collaboration of New York Psychoanalysis Institute and London Anna Freud Center.

Members include specialists from various disciplines like psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, neuroscience, physiology, philosophy and sociology. The main aim of this approach is to synthesize the Freudian theory that influenced the science of psychology immensely and the following psychodynamic theories and the findings of the science of neurology till the times of Kraepelin. In other words, to provide a peace between mind and body. At the same time, neuropsychoanalytic researches help us to find out the neurological outcomes of psychological interaction. Recent researches prove that psychological help is not composed of only talking, but it is a process of attachment and learning, during which new and healthy neural networks in our brain are built.
