How does neuropsychoanalysis inform our clinical practice – both directly with patients, and in supervision? A panel of clinicians, teachers and supervisors will share some vignettes on how they are integrating neuropsychoanalytic ideas into their work. Participants will also be invited to share their experiences as well. As a community we are developing a foundation of clinical observations that can enrich psychodynamic theory and practice – join us!
