45th Bulletin of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society

Bulletin 45 offers thirteen group reports from all around the world - Romania, Siberia, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Israel, Lithuania, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States. We think you will agree that the Neuropsychoanalysis Association has a vibrant and well-functioning SEEKING system. Some groups have been active since 2011 and have shown an increasing enthusiasm as seen in our latest Bulletins. Our curious and creative members join together to read, design and execute experiments, write papers and books, and translate books into their native languages. Several groups report their interest in affective neuroscience, defense mechanisms, and psychopathology. These reports speak to the ongoing commitment among our members to the interdisciplinary learning and dialogue that bring us together, continuously expanding and developing neuropsychoanalytic theory and practice. The contributions of our regional groups leave no doubt that, as we enter year 26 of the journal, we stand on a solid foundation with formidable energy to move our work forward. This bulletin highlights the development of ideas, projects, and research that keeps neuropsychoanalysis active all around the world.
