thanks Josh, I have joined the society

Hello! I am Katerina from Lviv, Ukraine. I study Psychology at Ukrainian Catholic University

@Andreas, we are currently recording so I hope so :)@Luke, Thanks! :)

Welcome to our department. In case of interest, here is our website: https://www.essex.ac.uk/departments/psychosocial-and-psychoanalytic-studies and Facebook pages for other events: https://www.facebook.com/UoEPsychoanalytic

I am psycho sexual therapist in Scotland

Hello, My name's Ria Elvanidi and I'm a qualified psychodynamic counsellor, BACP registered and a Clinical Psychologist. I have studied my diploma in WCP and you were invited there last spring for a lecture. I'm currently in Greece - sending you regards.

would we be allowed to ask questions after the presentation :)?

Welcome, everyone!

Yes there will be some time for questions after the presentation

fantastic, thank you!

Would we be allowed to get record with this lection?

Hi Olga, yes indeed there will be a recording issued after the event

Great! Thanks!

It is a privilege to hear Mark's personal story, and reminds me that we all have powerful, often, non-rational back-story, however this gets dressed in professional or academic roles. Good to be in touch with this...

Thank you for sharing :)

Chris, I was thinking the same as you. What a privilege. Much grateful...

Thank you Mark I am moved by this narrative as it resonates in me

Extremely moving to hear this

Tell us the story!

It's beautiful meandering!

what is the name of the conference?

Science of Consciousness

Science of consciousness

thank you

hobson choice

Sounds like someone was enjoying that!!!!

https://consciousness.arizona.edu/about-conference

People who do more abstract science than doctors understand very well why what is scientific is way broader than statistics and behaviourism.

Like physics or mathematics

I would encourage people start putting in questions in the chat (or please let me know if you'd like to ask a question live with your mic)

I think this always leads to a great (and maybe old) difficulty in defining what is actually science nowadays. What is the "grip apperture" for subjectivity when studying scientifically?

Professor Mark. The Psyche effects the brain or the brain phaenomena are reflections of the Psyche?

Question: What does Mark think either side (psychoanalysts/ neurologists) are defending against in not being interested in/ engaging with the other discipline? Is it a perceived threat of annihilation or incorporation? (going both ways)?

Do you think manic depression or schizophrenia is treatable with neuropsychoanalysis?

which brain part is responsible for brain and if rem sleep cycle is not mechanism of dreams then what is neuro mechanism of dreams?

Thank you, we would also welcome live questions later on

That was a lovely talk!I would like to ask you what advise would you have for someone like myself who is interested in consciousness, wants to investigate it using more rigorous methods of cognitive science/ neuroscience, has done a Bsc in psychology, and has limited opportunities because of living in a country like India

Please, let the professor speak

Thanks for this talk! question: how does the neurophysiology of dreams change with mental illness (if it does)?

more from the Professor please

What is the psychoanalitic view of borderline personality dissorder?

I would also like him to speak more

I'd also prefer that he speak at least 20 to 30 min more

I would also prefer if the Professor could speak more half an hour!

@Šárka Turnerova, I believe you should check out the work from Otto Kernberg on BPD. Nowadays his Transference-Focus Psychotherapy is gaining quite success

More from Mark, if possible.

Can you observe specific neurological changed during a psychoanalytic process?

Don't worry, there will be more from Mark :)

I has the pleasure to take Pr. Solms in teachable it was an introductory course and I am really hoping there are more advanced ones

had*

@Raffaele Fazio thanks for the recommendation!

He is also on Twitter: @Mark_Solms

check out the site from the neuropsychoanalytical society. there are a lot of viedis of seminars and courses

Thank you

Is there potential in mapping jungian archetypes, (depending on how theyre operationalized) in the brain?

This is similar to intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) I believe it haha :)

Despite a strict, and, perhaps, prejudicial nature of Popper’s falsifiability principle, it is still an effective tool to restrict fields like astrology, for instance, to enter “scientific” community; alignment with scienttificty gives extra credibility to a field, attracting more people to it, and, I guess, we do not want astrology to gain more followers. Thus, my question is: “Do you think that we should get rid of any principles to distinguish something scientific from nonscientific or pseudoscientific to reduce a prejudice? ” If so, how are going to solve a problem with apparent pseudoscientific fields (graphology, and etc.)

In research, you have thought about the correlation between neurofeedback and neuropsychoanalytical?

perhaps ID isn't unconscious, but the transactions between ID, EGO and SUPEREGO are what is unconscious, don't you think so?

Question for Prof Solms: Can Neuropsychoanalysis's NPSA's more complex model allow medical Psychiatry to become more complex and sentient subject person centred in its biological understanding ? (as well as its psychological and social and existential understanding). And offer Psychiatry more helpful better subject tolerated and patient informed approaches? Or could it lead to patients being left out of such decisions?

see: https://npsa-association.org/

Thank you all for questions, we will try to tackle as many as possible

And thank you Hessel for links to NPSA

Why retain the Id as its own register at all? Why not look at it as somwhat of a constitutive part of the ego and super ego ? if id is anythnig it seems to be somethnig fundamentally different than the ego and the super ego, and i dont think it should be grouped with the other two implying parity

found peace at last

huge gratification that may be :)

Thank you!

Mark, Sack returns to Freud's neurological work in his final book - were you an influence there perhaps...?

Most welcome!

What is the name of this scale that can be used to measure confabulations?

Thank you Prof. Solms for such a stimulating discussion - looking forward to reading your next work and publications. Thanks everyone who contributed in organising this.

Hi, Greta, where can we find the recording?

Hi Muhamed, the recording will be circulated via our FB page and we will also send it to NPSA to be circulated further

thank oyu!

Greta, what's the name of the FB page?

https://www.facebook.com/UoEPsychoanalyticSociety

Thank you

thank you! so exciting!!

Good question Joshua!! I'm praying Mark's response supports what I teach in the trauma module!!!

A huge thank you ot Mark and the organizers of this webinar! I've been mostly psychotherapy/philosophy-minded, and the webinar has somewhat renewed my interest in neuropsychology, seeing how prof. Solms balance it

thank you so much for this incredible talk!! outstanding, remarkable and very inspiring

Thank you so much for this talk. I heard the first half but unfortunately I have to go work now. Greta, I would kindly ask for a link to the recording as soon as it's uploaded, it was amazing. Prof. Solms, it was an honor and an absolute thrill to listen not only because of your storytelling, but also because your story resonates with me and probably a lot of people here.

Hi Alen, links will be uploaded to our FB and also circulated to NPSA

Inspiring! I am personally not working in any of the associated fields, I am in research in heart surgery and yet I found this extremely relevant and interesting. Thank you! Best regards to all.

Thank you for the kind feedback!

Great plug for a great institiute

wondering about this topic of the hard problem of consciousness… is there any evolutionary advantage in representing drives consciously - couldn’t it all be done unconsciously?

https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Solms_Unconscious.pdf

This (my first Society talk) has been perfectly timed; I have just submitted my application to study PPS next year and I'm about to start work supporting people with acquired brain injuries. Thank you so much for such invaluable insight.

That's wonderful to hear Richie!

Thank You Tali

I have a question too. Than you

Thank you

Hi Gabriel, thanks - I'll include you in the queue, if we have time! Lots of questions tonight!

Greta - are we automatically included if we post questions or do we need to specify we want to ask them explicitly?

Hi Stanzi, I've got the list of questions from chat but am also mindful of those who want to ask live questions

I'm trying to include as many but of course we are operating under time constrains :)

ok cheers! yep understand, I was thinking it might be good to limit qs to 1 per person

Indeed!

i repeat: a lot of answers are to be found onthe NPSA-site https://npsa-association.org/

That's a great resource

Thanks Hessel

Noted, thanks Hessel

Greta is it time for a question

Agreed.... This is what Daniel Stern has done in developmental psychology....

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2018.00294/full

Hi Norman! If we have time. There's one more question to come from Mila after this.

So might run out of time

If there’s still time: Do you think Embodied Cognition Theory can be related to Neuropsychoanalysis? If so, in which way?

Question for Prof Solms: Can Neuropsychoanalysis's NPSA's more complex model allow medical Psychiatry to become more complex and sentient subject person centred in its biological understanding ? (as well as its psychological and social and existential understanding). And offer Psychiatry more helpful better subject tolerated and patient informed approaches? Or could it lead to patients being left out of such decisions?

Just what I was THINKING cHRIS

No problem Greta

question to professor Mark : What do You think of the perspective of panpsychism of Galen Strawson or Donald Hoffmann In relation to redistovery of the Freudian Drives and their physiological correlation to the brain activity? In other words, could we talk of experiences of "feeling to be like x" in another case for the brain.. Or possibly , is it of any use to universalize such notions as drive and desire ( as some psychoanalytically inspired theorists seem to do in the wake of panpsychists) as if they can be forces "experienced" by anythnig else than the brain

@Carmen Guerra Melo: see Katerina Fotopoulou’s work. You’ll find details of her lab and work on the NPSA page too.

Thank you Aimee, for sure I will :)

Thank you Mark Solm, all your work is really important, Ive noticed also your 3 hours without a break! Awesome!

What it is neuropsychoanalytic vision of hypnagogic hallucinations - beyond dream and day consciousness? Dreams or Hallucinations?

you can check the work of Christina Alberini for more about memory reconsolidtion

Thanks Mark and everyone for a great afternoon. Let's do this again....!! Take care everyone and keep in touch with us. Bye for now

Thanks for coming Chris!

What I have learned here from this amazing session is how important it is for us to connect across disciplines, to build on existing concepts by integrating new research findings. But also to develop concepts that can more beyond the binary of subjectivity and objectivity

Definitely gonna read it !

Thank you so much, Dr. Solms, Greta, and everyone else who helped organizing this talk, it indeed was very insightful!
