The group will read, study, and discuss books and papers by distinguished authors and researchers that explore some of the seminal concepts and clinical issues in neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy. We will read and discuss:

Panksepp, Jaak and Lucy Biven (2012) The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotions, WW Norton & Company, New York

Chapter 5: The Ancestral Sources of FEAR, pp. 175-202
(We will read and study this entire book over the next several months. We advise all participants to purchase a copy.)
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION, PLEASE BE SURE YOU HAVE READ CHAPTER 5.

Although Freud had strong conviction that human feelings and behavior were strongly determined by mental processes and brain functions, the limitations of neuroscience at the time, did not allow him to demonstrate these connections definitively. In Archeology of Mind, Jaak Panksepp identifies, using contemporary methods of neuroscientific research, seven emotional systems located in deep areas of the brain. These systems are quite similar across all mammalian species. We read about and discussed the SEEKING and RAGE systems at our December and January meetings, and will focus on the FEAR system at the February meeting.

IMPORTANT: Although this reading can be technical at times, take Daniel Siegel’s advice: “Read this work like a fascinating nonfiction story. Just like you wouldn’t memorize a novel, do not worry about remembering all the details about research studies.” Happy Reading!!

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the neural trajectory of the FEAR system in the brain.
– Describe five symptoms that are induced by the stimulation of the FEAR system in the brain.
– Describe the primary brain chemicals involved in both the inducement and the quelling of a FEAR response.

Open to NPAP members and candidates I no cost
