This lecture reviews our understanding of the neuroscientific basis of
the mind, in the context of core psychoanalytic knowledge. It will cover
the anatomic and neurochemical basis of various emotion systems and
the regulation of various emotion states, and the way that emotion
seems capable of hijacking cognitive systems in the generation of
delusional beliefs. Key themes will be the substantial support which
neuroscience has now offered for core psychoanalytic ideas, but also
areas where there appears to be inconsistency between the
neuroscientific and psychoanalytic accounts of the organisation of the
mind.
Professor Oliver Turnbull is a Professor at the Centre for Cognitive
Neuroscience, and Pro Vice-Chancellor at Bangor University in Wales.
He has published widely within neuropsychology, with a special interest
in the neurobiology of false belief and confabulation. He is the
immediate past editor of the journal Neuropsychoanalysis and the
secretary of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society. He is the
co-author, with Mark Solms, of The Brain and the Inner World,
published by Other Press in 2002, and was recipient of the Clifford
Yorke Prize in 2004.
This lecture is being sponsored by the Specialist Psychological
Therapies of Leicestershire Partnership Trust and The Clinical
