Saturday, October 5, 2019

10:00 am – 12:00 pm

The clinical implications of the research findings on affective touch are just beginning to be explored.  Katerina Fotopoulou, one of the pioneers and leading researchers in this field, has contributed a wonderful course on the topic, entitled “Mentalising Homeostasis:  From Body to Self,” to the NPSA Learning platform (www.npsalearning.org).  We will discuss this rich lecture in an open group discussion.

Participants are encouraged to view the course (requires purchase for $30; discount for current members of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society) in advance.  To purchase and access Dr. Fotopoulou’s course, visit:
