NPSA NYC 2025 – Abstract submission

(Take me back to Congress main page)

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 aspect that is explicitly neurobiological or neuropsychological, such as brain injury, pharmacological treatment, or neurophysiological, psychophysiological, or experimental psychology measures;

(2) brief case vignettes that illustrate: a) a successful intervention, perspective, or other technical approach informed by neuropsychoanalysis; b) instances where an explicit change in clinical technique based on a neuropsychoanalytic hypothesis was counter-productive; and/or c) 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.

Presentations must be given in person. We encourage only one submission per lead author, since presenters (if accepted) may only present one time, due to program limitations.

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

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

Posters: There will be a prize for ‘Best Poster,’ selected by the Congress participants.

Abstracts are due by Sunday, 19 January, 2025. Upon submission (below), you will receive a receipt and a reference number. If you do not receive confirmation, please check your spam folder, and then email support@npsa-association.org. Notification of acceptance status will be made by the end of February.

IMPORTANT: You cannot save an abstract submission and return to it later. The system does not auto-save as you work. You therefore are strongly encouraged to prepare your abstract and bio offline in a Word document, and copy and paste into this form, so you do not lose your work.
