In his article “‘Function’ in Functional Neurological Disorders: The Common Ground of Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis,” Mark Solms offers a look back at the beginnings of psychoanalysis through to the current neuropsychoanalytical concepts of somatoform disorders. He spans the arc from Freud's first work on the genesis of hysteria and conversion neuroses and his early models of the psychic apparatus – which were still very much based on the neurological reflex arc model – to current neuroscientific findings that neuropsychoanalysis seeks to link with metapsychology. This specific starting point of neuropsychoanalysis, the so-called dual-aspect monism, postulates that mind and body consist of the same “material,” but are viewed from two different perspectives. This neurophilosophical view makes it possible to understand mental and physical phenomena as two aspects of a single underlying reality. The application of the neuroscientific concept of “predictive coding” with regard to the development of functional neurological disorders represents one of the most innovative and now widely accepted approaches in neuro-psychosomatics [Hallett, M., Aybek, S., Ceranic, B., Czarnecki, K., Daum, C., Edwards, M. J., Espay, A. J., Fung, V. S. C., Ganos, C., Guerreiro, R., Hinson, V. K., Kanaan, R., Kranick, S. M., LaFaver, K., Lang, A. E., Lehn, A., Lidstone, S. C., Maurer, C. W., Mildon, B.,…Voon, V. .
