Learners with some pre-existing knowledge of psychoanalytic concepts, including Drive Theory and Ego Psychology, will get the most out of this study group.
This four-session study group will discuss the neuropsychoanalytic contributions of Dr. Mark Solms to revisions in psychoanalytic theory of the drives, and psychoanalytic conceptualizations of Conscious and Unconscious mental processes, while forging an integration of psychoanalytic theory and practice with contemporary neuroscience. We will explore how these contributions translate to necessary revisions in contemporary psychoanalytic formulation and practice, while also serving to support the major claims, and therapeutic action, of psychoanalytic therapies, with an emphasis upon Drive Theory and Ego Psychology.
Dr. Solms is uniquely qualified in these endeavors in his role as neuroscientist, neuropsychologist, psychoanalyst, and editor and translator of of the forthcoming Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (24 volumes) and Complete Neuroscientific Works of Sigmund Freud (4 volumes).
OBJECTIVES
- Define the meaning of Homeostatic Drives in the context of Contemporary Drive Theory.
- Define the meaning of Emotional Drives in the context of Contemporary Drive Theory.
- Define the meaning of automatized predictions.
- Describe the process of making the unconscious conscious through the process of “reproblematizing” unrepresented/enacted patterns of behavior.
- List one brain region essential to dreaming.
- List one Freudian principle regarding dreams that Hobson sought to disprove and the evidence that successfully refuted Hobson.
- List two types of embodied cognition within the context of Contemporary Drive Theory and Ego Psychology.
- Describe how automatized predictions are changed during the course of psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy.
- List one way in which the "Conscious Id" changes Drive Theory; list one way in which the "Conscious Id" does not change Drive Theory at all.
