After two years of an in-person pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 21st International Neuropsychoanalysis Congress was held in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Some regional groups of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society have carried out various activities regarding this topic. Groups such as Madrid, Ireland, Manchester, Sweden, Lithuania and the United Kingdom have organized or participated in events, readings and research with approaches to theoretical and clinical aspects of neuropsychoanalysis.
