Scientific Meetings

NPSI Scientific Meetings provide a vibrant forum for exploring contemporary psychoanalysis. In addition to NPSI’s emphasis on British object relations theory, the work of Winnicott, Bion, and post-Bionian developments, NPSI Scientific meetings include a wide variety of psychoanalytic perspectives 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. Special presentations may be added to the monthly schedule. Meetings are moderated by one of our Continuing Education Committee co-chairs: Caron Harrang, Drew Tillotson, or Nancy Winters.

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