Update Terbaru BLUE.. Pada Article Hari Ini Penulis Akan Memberi Anda Cerita Yang Amat Menarik Hari Ini . Jadi Mari Kita Mula Membaca. Mark Solms is a psychoanalyst and a lecturer in neurosurgery at the St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal London School of Medicine, Chair of neuropsychology, University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Director of the Arnold Pfeffer Center for Neuro-Psychoanalysis at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute.

I am familiar with his work through his book, The Brain and the Inner World: An Introduction to the Neuroscience of the Subjective Experience (2002), an excellent attempt to unite some of the surviving ideas of psychoanalytic theory with what we have been learning about the mind-brain through neuroscience and neurobiology.

Interview with Professor Mark Solms, Chair of the IPA Research Committee

This video was shot at the recent IPA congress in Prague, August 2013. Interview by Kevin Billinghurst.

“The psychoanalytic method, for all of its faults, is the best method we have for dealing with all the shifting sands and subtle complexities of subjectivity.

The single biggest mistake that’s been made in brain science is to think that we can study the brain only as an object"

Here is some info from his university web page.
