‘Ronde’ by Mai-Thu


NEUROPSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVES ON PLAY

Play has recently emerged (perhaps unexpectedly) as an exciting area of mutual interest for psychoanalysis and the neurosciences. As we gain a better understanding of the neurobiology of play, and its pivotal role in mammalian development and group relations, so we are able to view psychoanalytic observations and theories in a new way ... and then cast this light back onto the neurobiological research.

Keynote speakers include:

Stuart Brown, National Institute for Play, California
Peter Fonagy, University College London
Jaak Panksepp, College of Veterinary Medicine, Washington State University
and
Mark Solms, University of Cape Town
