Solms does justice to the psychological orientation needed to understand behavior in this interview. He will someday be seen a harbinger of a new trend: the realization that humans are not soft machines. Psychology will always be separate from physiology and maybe it always should be.
This goes back to 2013, and we are just now coming to understand how deep the subconscious goes, and how much it drives us. I was raised on Skinner and behaviorism, and wasted a lot of time. Thank you Mark, for helping to set us straight.
A multidisciplinary approach seems to be the logical way forward in trying to understand and discover more about the brain and what we can learn from it. Very similar, and some might say analogous to the nascent science of Web technology - Web Science-and the internet. Interesting seeing the parallels and empiricism evolved in studying these two very different(, some might say disparate ?) areas!
Mark Solms gives an excellent explanation of the use of Neuropyschoanalysis, referencing Freud so beautifully and encapsulating how today's practice and what his research and predecessors give all apply, incorporating Neuroscientific advances, psychiatry and even evolutionary pyschology.A refreshing take and clear definitions of every type of analysis, scientific hypothesis defined here.
Thank you very much for this upload. Much appreciated seeing this interview. Thank God the interviewer let Solms speak as opposed to going Charlie Rose or early morning talk show on him.

Mark Solms is a neuroscientist and psychoanalyst. Questions and answers in the interview. What is psychoanalysis for? How to face inner deep conflicts and problems? What about psychoanalytical method? Emotional aspect of brain... Brain is not only an object to investigate, what about e.g. feelings? Some original thoughts about Freud. Solms' research on dreams... Very interesting and clear report
A better way of putting it is, "As psychologists we need to acknowledge the ethical problems that may result from imposing suffering on reptiles, insects and animals"
The precept of it is so simple. advanced in terms of the developments made ontop of the simple model but simple nonetheless. The direction of it is still very understandable and the references to the concepts of Freud only complicate it as a result of a series of knowledge its simplicity explained in complex facts because the facts arent simple. but the initial simplicity wasnt simple enought to explain it without being reductive in its view. Its not hard to explain. its just hard to explain in this society.
Evolutionary biology "has a veneer of objectivity but it is really a tissue of speculation... Freud abandoned speculative neurology for psychoanalysis because it was "more empirical". Brilliant.
I recommend his paper 'The Conscious Id' where he kinda flips Freudian theory on its head, claiming that the Id is more conscious than Freud thought, and that the Ego is less
Freud was more right than wrong. It's just that the public can not accept Freud's brilliance. The contents of the id, as stated by Freudian Theory, are unacceptable to most individuals and societies. 😑

Without question, Dr. Mark Solms is today's top thinker in our study of the mind.

A clear, fascinating interview. Available to analysts, neurosientist and non-professionals.

Thanks for very interested TV programme about dreams

As psychologists we need to acknowledge the ethical problems of causing insects, reptiles and animals to suffer!
Great interview!

And because Freud stated that the needed tools to further his research had not been discovered yet in his time frame.
Fascinating.
he didnt tell what freud got wrong
I recommend his paper 'The Conscious Id' where he kinda flips Freudian theory on its head, claiming that the Id is more conscious than Freud thought, and that the Ego is less
Freud got a great deal wrong and yet they talk constantly of many of his defense mechanisms still today.
