The Neuropsychoanalysis Foundation supports
education, research, and treatment programs that advance
the integration of neuroscience and psychoanalysis.

We are closely affiliated
with the
International Neuropsychoanalysis Society.


  • We support empirical research that investigates the brain substrates of psychoanalytic processes, enriches neuroscientific approaches to cognition and emotion with psychodynamically informed hypotheses, and provides new grounding for effective clinical work.

  • Our treatment program makes psychodynamic treatment available to patients with brain damage, meeting the needs of an underserved population and deepening our understanding of the neural underpinnings of mental life.
