The group will read, study, and discuss books and papers by distinguished authors and researchers that explore some of the seminal concepts and clinical issues in neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy. On April 5 we will read and discuss: The Brain and the Inner World: An Introduction to the Neuroscience of Subjective Experience, by Mark Solms and Oliver Turnbull Forward by Oliver Sacks, pp. vii-xii, and Chapter 6: Dreams and Hallucinations, pp. 181-216. This book is Mark Solms’ fourth book and is a collaboration of Dr. Solms with Oliver Turnbull. As early as 1987, Dr. Solms expressed in an early paper his desire “to examine the relationship between psychoanalysis and neuropsychology…to show that psychoanalysis is based on sound neurological principles.” In the Forward, Oliver Sacks points out that while many since Freud have studied the interpretation of dreams, “who before Solms studied the neuropsychology of dreams, the ways in which their imagery, their style, even their existence could be transformed by damage to different areas of the brain?”
Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the relationship between REM sleep and dreaming.
– Describe the neurochemistry of REM.
– Discuss how the SEEKING system might well be considered the “primary driving force” of dreaming.

The Edith Laufer Neuropsychoanalytic Clinical Study Center provides emotional support in the next step of your recovery process after a brain injury.
Our licensed professionals treat the symptoms and psychological sequelae of stroke, TBIs, and other brain injuries. These symptoms may include depression, anxiety, identity issues and the feeling that you are just not your old self. After medical intervention and rehab, the next step is to address the psychological, social, familial and environmental challenges. When changes in the brain occur, these changes also affect how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to family and friends.
Our licensed clinicians are trained and highly experienced in this next step of the recovery process. The brain has an innate neuroplasticity and we are here to facilitate your recovery and to enhance your sense of well-being.
Call us today at (212) 924-7440 or email neuro.npap@gmail.com for a free consultation.
What We Offer
Brain-injured patients often experience symptoms of depression, anxiety and a sense that they are not the person they once were. Often they find that psychological services are not available to them after they complete their rehabilitation treatment.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help these individuals reduce their psychological symptoms and reestablish a sense of identity and well-being.
How?
In the psychotherapeutic process, we work with you to facilitate your recovery and to reestablish a sense of self.
Who?
We are licensed clinical social workers, psychologists and psychoanalysts, collaborating with an educational consultant and a neurologist.

The Center’s licensed clinicians provide ongoing education, facilitate reading groups, give presentations at national and international conferences and contribute to scholarly journals.
