Dr. Lois Oppenheim in Conversation with… Mark Solms

Saturday, September 11, 2021

10:00 – 11:30 am (EST)

 

New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute continues its popular “Conversations with….” series and is pleased to present Dr. Lois Oppenheim in conversation with Dr. Mark Solms. In celebration of the forthcoming Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud and the recently released The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness, this conversation will focus on, among other things, the “hard problem,” and how Solms’ analytic background leads him to view it differently from his colleagues in neuroscience.

No CME/CE credits offered.
