NPSA NYC 2025 – Abstract submission

Please note that the abstract submission process is now closed.

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. Submissions are now closed.
