How do neuroscience and psychoanalysis inform each other? Find out at the:
7TH INTERNATIONAL NEURO-PSYCHOANALYSIS CONGRESSS
LOS ANGELES, JULY 21-23, 2006
Pasadena Hilton Hotel
LOVE AND LUST: NEURO-PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVES ON OBJECT RELATIONS
Main Congress: Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July
Love and lust, passion and affection, are fundamental ways of relating. How can neuroscience inform psychoanalytic thinking on these essential matters, and how can psychoanalytic insight further neuroscientific research? Key questions include: How do the neural systems underlying love and lust overlap, differ, and finally integrate in the self, and in our lives? What of sexuality and non-sexual desire in everyday life? As intimacy emerges over time, do our passions wane, and what are the neural correlates of these changes? What about relationships where desire and affection appear disconnected? What is the intrapsychic relationship between libidinal urges and attachment needs, how do these change as a function of brain development, and how do they affect or determine our relationships with others? This congress will explore the ways in which these systems relate to each other, both neurobiologically and psychodynamically. Speakers include:
HELEN FISHER, REGINA PALLY, JAAK PANKSEPP, ALLAN SCHORE, MARK SOLMS, STEPHEN SUOMI, DOUGLAS WATT
Optional Educational and Research Day: Friday 21st July (Registration is independent of the Congress) The Educational Day is comprised of lectures providing background knowledge on the topics of the Congress, and offered in parallel with presentations on current neuro-psychoanalytic research.
Presentations and posters welcome. For research submissions, contact: Oliver Turnbull at pat.porter@neuro-psa.org
