Presidential Symposium on Research: The Scientific Standing of Psychoanalysis Speakers: Chair: Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President (San Francisco, CA)
Presenter: Mark Solms, Ph.D. (Cape Town, South Africa)
This presentation will take stock of the current scientific standing of psychoanalysis, both in terms of its theoretical claims about the human mind and in terms of its clinical claims about the efficacy and mode of action of psychoanalytic treatments. The presentation will be aimed at informing and updating the general membership about these basic issues; it is not a specialist ‘research’ presentation. |
