Psychoanalysis is one of the early, controversial, and enduring contributions of the 20th century to contemporary practice in psychiatry, psychotherapy and mental health care. Formulated initially by the Viennese neurologist Sigmund Freud it has had a profound influence both in clinical practice and wider culture.
Specific contributions of psychoanalysis have included the appreciation of the importance of unconscious mechanisms of defence, transference and countertransference, and identification of the therapeutic relationship as a core feature in commonly used psychodynamic psychotherapy and a major feature in a wide range of psychotherapies. Its updated formulations remain relevant to a wide range of mental and functional neurological and mental disorder.
Join us for the first episode of the Mind Matters Series, the purpose of this webinar is to gain an in-depth understanding of psychoanalytic theory in the light of contemporary developments in neuroscience and discuss the implications for clinical practice in Neuropsychoanalysis, psychiatry and mental health.
