Presentations will be considered from those who are able to travel to the conference and present in person. Attendance at the Congress requires being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and wearing masks indoors at all times, except when giving a presentation. Requirements for travel to the U.S. also apply, including the list of vaccines being accepted by the U.S. for international travel – for more details, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/noncitizens-US-air-travel.html and see the list of accepted vaccines here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html#covid-vaccines.

Submission Criteria: Studies related to the theme of the congress are particularly encouraged, but presentations on any topic are welcome. You are invited to submit abstracts for research presentations, posters, or symposia that meet either the first or second criterion:

(1) experimental, clinical, or theoretical presentations that have an explicit psychoanalytic or psychodynamic component and either (a) a link to neuroscientific or a neuropsychoanalytic body of thought; or (b) an explicit neurobiological or neuropsychological aspect, such as brain injury, pharmacological treatment, or neurophysiological, psychophysiological, or experimental psychology measures; or

(2) brief psychoanalytic case vignettes with non-neurological patients that illustrate a successful intervention, perspective, or other technical approach informed by neuropsychoanalysis, or conversely, instances where an explicit change in clinical technique based on a neuropsychoanalytic hypotheses was counter-productive; or brief clinical vignettes of impasses, treatment-resistant difficulties, and other clinical challenges that can be the basis for multi-modal discussants to explore new insights that could emerge from interdisciplinary exploration.

Oral Presentations: These will be given in slots ranging in time from 10-20 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.

Symposia (duration 1.5-2 hours): these should have either 4 presenters, or 3 presenters and one discussant.

Abstracts are due by Monday, February 14, 2022. Upon submission, you will receive a receipt and a reference number. Notification of acceptance status will be made by mid-March. If you do not receive confirmation, please check your spam folder, and then email support@npsa-association.org.
