    NWSP Book Club

    Freud and Neuroscience

    Date:  Tuesdays, September 15th to November 17, 2026 (No Meeting on Nov.10th)

    Time: 7:00 - 8:00 pm ET

    Location: Zoom Online

    Cost: Free to Members; $20 Non-members

    The NWSP Membership Committee would like to invite you to a book club to discuss Mark Solms’s new book “The Only Cure: Freud and the Neuroscience of Mental Healing.” Solms, a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst, examines Freud’s psychoanalytic ideas in the light of modern neuroscience. This is an informal discussion group that will not provide CEUs.  We will start on September 15th and discuss the introduction and first chapter. If you are interested, please respond to this thread or email me directly at dougeifert@gmail.com.

    From the publisher ‘s website:

    Once dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?

    Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem, not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.

    Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?

    Registration closes September 13th, 2026 at noon ET.

With equal parts joyful whimsy and harrowing truth, Somewhere Over the Border is a timely new musical that honors the grit and resilience of the immigrant’s journey and reminds us of the humanity of all our neighbors.
