Following the confinement due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our ways to communicate have changed. The International Society of Neuropsychoanalysis made it possible for attendees to join their Puerto Rico and Israel Congresses either in person or via live streaming. The regional groups have also offered the possibility of meeting and presenting their research and achievements through online transmissions. Our Bulletin – reports from regional groups around the world – continues to highlight the diverse and vital work of our NPSA members. Topics as varied as trauma and the role of joy and psychoanalysis in addressing climate change (Sweden); repression, the Oedipus complex, addiction, depression, sleep disorders, the PANIC/GRIEF system and body image, the default mode network (Mexico City); the efficacy of neuropsychoanalytic approaches to therapy with brain injured patients (Edith Laufer Neuropsychoanalytic Center, NYC); artificial intelligence (Paris, Pitié-Salpêtrière); the relationship between Panksepp’s seven basic emotional systems and Jung’s theory of complexes and the dynamic unconscious (Liverpool Jungian group); the integration of psychoanalytic and neurodevelopmental views in understanding human development, the study of interventions during the first 1,000 days of life (Monza); Freud’s writings on the cerebral substratum of the psychic apparatus, contemporary research on the effects of psychoanalytic psychotherapy using fMRI technology (Madrid); and examining the possible role that the intracellular landscape might play in orchestrating the life of the psyche (Manchester Jungian Neuropsychoanalysis Group) are being studied, discussed, researched, and written about by our colleagues in nearly every corner of the world. We are inspired by their creativity and collaboration as they build on Jaak Panksepp’s work and turn their attention to clinical applications of neuropsychoanalytic ideas. We appreciate these reports and all the important work they communicate
