Neuropsychoanalysis: An Interdisciplinary Journal for Psychoanalysis and the Neurosciences first appeared in 1999. Having Mark Solms and Edward Nersessian as its first editors, the journal created the first dedicated space for the emerging dialogue between psychoanalysis and the neurosciences. With a robust library of papers on topics such as affect, memory, defense mechanisms, consciousness, dreams, and the clinical implications of neuropsychoanalysis, among others, the journal houses many cutting-edge contributions of the intersection between our knowledge of the brain and various psychodynamic perspectives.
While original articles and clinical reports have been the predominant scholarly content of the journal, many issues have included Target Articles accompanied by commentaries, currently edited by David Olds. A regular feature is the Bulletin devoted to activities reported by the regional groups affiliated with the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society, edited by Maria Sonia Goergen, Ana Delgadillo, and Jane Abrams. Hessel Boerboom and Heather Berlin edit a Book Review section, while Jane Abrams edits the Research Digest. At present, the journal is privileged to have an editorial team that includes editors with different backgrounds that are relevant to neuropsychoanalysis, such as psychotherapy, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and psychology. Our associate editors are Ross Balchin, Virginia Barry, Rudi Coetzer, Paul Moore, Jose Fernando Muñoz Zúñiga, and Maggie Zellner. Richard Kessler and Iftah Biran are co-editors; Trevor Hjertaas recently joined the team as our production editor; and Daniela Flores Mosri is the managing editor. Two issues are published per year and readers can select online access and/or to receive hard copies.
