Abstract: Recent work in neuroscience assigns two main roles to sleep and dreaming: minimising free energy, and consolidating memory and maintaining the synaptic connections in which memories are reallized. These roles can be seen to coincide in detail with Freud’s and other depth-psychological accounts of the meaning and function of dreams. By integrating these accounts we can understand how the significance we assign to dreams derives from their role in unifying the emotional meaning of the past and the present in preparation for the future, a task they accomplish by adjusting emotional significance over the fields of memory in which experiential learning is embodied.
Bio: Jim Hopkins is currently Honorary Professor in the Psychoanalysis Unit at UCL. He was Kohut Visiting Professor for 2008 at the University of Chicago and since his retirement has been Reader Emeritus in the Philosophy Department at King’s College London.
As you know by now, a Neuropsychoanalysis Group has been formed in London with special emphasis on psychodynamic neuroscience and neuropsychology research. Now in its eighth year, it usually meets at 6 pm on the first Thursday (and less frequently on the first or second Wednesday or Thursday) of each month of the academic calendar. If you read this for the first time, and are interested in joining or visiting this group, please contact:Prof Jim Hopkins at jim.hopkins@kcl.ac.uk, providing 2-3 lines indicating your discipline and the nature of your interest.
For those of you who plan to attend the 2017 London Congress in July…
the difference in the price between a Society member and a non-member is over 10%, i.e. more than the cost of the annual membership!
