The association aims to spread knowledge and stimulate discussion about neuropsychoanalysis in a broader sense. Neuropsychoanalysis, is as the name suggests, a creative and dynamic field of knowledge that seeks to integrate two on their own complex fields of expertise: Neuroscience and psychoanalysis.
The brain is the organ of the mind. If we want to fully understand mental life, we must integrate neuroscience findings with all levels of mind.
Neuropsychoanalysis is interested in the neurobiological basis of how we act, think and feel.When we begin to link brain activity with a psychoanalytic model of the mind, even at the deepest levels, a truly dynamic understanding can arise.
NPSA is an international network of non-profit organizations that support a dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. Based in New York City, London and Cape Town, they provide resources to clinics, researchers, students and the public, including their journal, conferences, research grants and educational programs.
