Report on “Neuropsychoanalysis around the world,” an online meeting hosted by the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society, July 2020

Abstract

The 21st Congress of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society was scheduled to happen on July 9th to 11th in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The coronavirus pandemic led to postponing the event for 2021 and left the Society without its annual meeting. As the world quickly moved on to online communications, the organizing committee decided to have an event in lieu of the Congress on July 11th and 12th. It was titled “Neuropsychoanalysis around the world” and it saw a large audience (approximately 357 people) from all over the world, including Lithuania, Brazil, Argentina, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Colombia, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Uruguay, Turkey, Sweden, Puerto Rico, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Belgium, Chile, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Peru, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Ukraine and Mexico. Updates in research, clinical advances, and theory were presented to be followed by comments and discussions from attendees.
