Scientific Meetings:

NPSI Scientific Meetings provide a dynamic and engaging forum for exploring contemporary psychoanalysis. While emphasizing British object relations theory—including the work of Winnicott, Bion, and post-Bionian developments—these meetings also feature a broad range of psychoanalytic perspectives that are relevant to contemporary clinical practice. Each month during the academic year, a psychoanalyst—either from NPSI or invited from another IPA Component Society—presents an original paper, with occasional special presentations added to the schedule. Sessions are recorded and made available for purchase through NPSI’s video library, extending access to members and the broader professional community. Meetings are moderated by one of the Continuing Education Committee co-chairs: Caron Harrang, Drew Tillotson, or Nancy Winters.

Designed to foster thoughtful exchange and deeper understanding of psychoanalytic processes, these online meetings provide ample time for discussion of the presenter’s material. Open to NPSI members and all interested mental health professionals worldwide, NPSI Scientific Meetings offer an excellent opportunity to engage with leading-edge psychoanalytic ideas and to connect with colleagues across both local and international psychoanalytic communities.
