FOUND IN TRANSLATION: A DAY WITH MARK SOLMS

Sunday, March 24
Coffee and tea: 9:00 am
Program: 9:45 am – 4:00 pm

The SFCP and PINC communities, along with psychotherapists, therapists in training and interested members of the public, will have a special opportunity to meet and interact with Mark Solms, Ph.D. Mark will give two lectures in the program, with ample time for questions and discussion.

In the first of the lectures in this program, Freud in Translation: German to English, Mark Solms, will introduce a powerful new perspective on emotional and mental life. How is it that Sigmund Freud, who saw himself as a natural scientist, described the mental apparatus as the Seelenapparat, or "apparatus of the soul"? Solms' forthcoming new translation, The Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, combines a literary perspective with deep insight into the emotionally immediate language of German science. This revised translation reveals Freud in new ways as a person, a writer, and a thinker, while presenting an enriched view of human subjectivity. 

In the second lecture, Freud in Translation: Psychoanalysis to Neuroscience, Professor Solms will clarify how Neuropsychoanalysis, emphasizing the subjective experience of mind is precisely the opposite of reductionist neuroscience. Clinical examples, as well as recent neuroscience discoveries, will illustrate what psychoanalysis has to gain from Neuropsychoanalysis, exploring concepts of symbolism, repression, and consciousness itself.
