The Neuropsychoanalysis Study Group is an interdisciplinary group open to neurologists, neuropsychologists, neuroscientists, mental health professionals, philosophers, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and psychologists with an interest in the area of mind and brain. The aim of the Group is to create an environment for interested parties to study and discuss how the insights of neuroscience and psychoanalysis can be synthesised towards a better understanding of mind and brain. For a fuller explanation, see Solms & Turnbull 2011 “What is Neuropsychoanalysis” (open access). The Group is part of an international network with this aim and reports on a regular basis to the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society. The Group also functions as a base for exchanging professional news, enhancing interdisciplinary careers and forming clinical and research collaborations.
