The NPSA is very pleased to announce that we are making available a large number of videos for educational and enrichment purposes. These videos are divided into five catalogues, each systematically focused on different key topics related to the ever-expanding field of neuropsychoanalysis. The first two series (see below) are currently available for viewing, with three additional catalogues set for release later. The videos in these series cater for individuals from various medical, clinical, scientific and academic backgrounds, and are of great relevance to both working professionals and students alike.
The introductory video in each series is available to all for viewing free of charge, with the remainder of the series requiring membership of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society in order to be viewed. To join the Society or renew your membership, please click the button below.

Catalogue 2: Clinical Neuropsychoanalysis for Psychiatrists, Neurologists and Psychoanalysts
Description: This series of theoretically orientated seminars developed and delivered by Professor Mark Solms represents an experimental pilot approach to ascertaining the key content and material required for teaching psychiatrists, neurologists and psychoanalysts about clinical neuropsychoanalysis. Drawing on Professor Solms’ vast knowledge, this series tackles a broad range of theoretical topics ranging from neurotic mechanisms to the general principles of assessment in the domains of psychoanalysis and neuropsychology. Clinically relevant case material is also presented and discussed. This series effectively distils the vast area of knowledge required for clinical neuropsychoanalysis while acknowledging and addressing the knowledge gaps that exist in psychiatry, neurology and psychoanalysis.
Access: Video 1 is available to the public. Membership of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society is required to view the rest of the series. To register with the Society, please click here.
