Mark Solms is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in contemporary psychoanalysis and neuroscience. He is the editor of Freud’s New Standard Edition and he has played a major role in restoring psychoanalysis to scientific standing. His latest book bears a characteristically ambitious title: The Only Cure: Freud and the Neuroscience of Mental Healing.

Drawing on Mark Kinet’s critical review, two virtual hosts explore the strengths and limitations of Solms’ neuropsychoanalytic vision of psychoanalysis. The stakes are high, although—paraphrasing Freud—every advance may ultimately prove to be only half as great as it first appears.

Current Psychoanalysis presents AI-generated conversations inspired by the 35+ books and writings of psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Mark Kinet. Each episode aims to stimulate reflection and dialogue on contemporary psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice.

Some children learn too early how to care for others—and too late how to care for themselves.

Based on Mark Kinet's The Psychodynamics and Psychogenesis of Parentification, this conversation explores the hidden costs of growing up with responsibilities that belong to adults. The works of Sigmund Freud, Sandor Ferenczi, Michael Balint, Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Wilfred Bion and Jacques Lacan are integrated in systemic thinking and contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives derived from attachment theory, infant research, and neuropsychoanalysis.

Two virtual hosts discuss role reversal, emotional parentification, family dynamics, resilience, and vulnerability, showing how childhood experiences can continue to shape adult relationships and psychological well-being.

An accessible introduction to one of the most significant yet under-recognised themes in contemporary psychotherapy.

Why is therapy not a car wash?

Based on Mark Kinet's Patient Testimonies of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Reported and Recorded, this virtual conversation explores what psychotherapy looks like through the eyes of those who have actually undergone it. The book begins and ends with a survey of psychoanalytic principles that organise clinical practice. Then we hear the patients' stories in their own 2500 words.

Drawing on 38 patient testimonies, two virtual hosts discuss therapeutic change, emotional insight, human connection, and the complex process through which people come to understand themselves differently.

A unique exploration of psychotherapy from the patient's perspective—where outcomes are measured not only in symptoms reduced, but also in lives transformed.
