In Dietrich, Fodor, Zucker and Bruchner (eds.) Simulating the Mind: A Technical Neuropsychoanalytical Approach. 2008. Springer: Wien, New York. pp.347-366. Abstract: Research into computer simulation of group and cultural processes has expanded in recent years, including an important recent attempt to incorporate neuropsychoanalytic principles. This paper argues that in order to progress we need to start “taking the group seriously” and utilize psychoanalytic theories of group-level processes. Furthermore, those currently using such psychoanalytic perspectives in a variety of contexts have a lot to gain from computer modelling. This paper aims to elucidate the key elements of three foundational psychoanalytic theories of group dynamics, those of Freud, Bion and Jaques, with the goal of facilitating future computer-based implementation, and ultimately the formation of a new research field of artificial group psychodynamics. Joseph Dodds (2008) From Psychosomatics to Neuropsychoanalysis: Contributions of the Paris School. Revue Psychoanalytická Psychoterapie. 2008. X/2 zima. Moderní psychoanalýza II (francouzská psychoanalýza). (English Version). Abstract:This paper reviews the contributions to psychosomatics and psychoanalysis of the Paris School (Ecole de Paris), founded in 1963 by Pierre Marty, Michel de M'Uzan, Christian David and Michel Fain. The Paris School and the Paris Psychosomatic Institute (IPSO), building on classical Freudian theory, can be seen as a pioneering psychoanalytic approach to the psyche/soma and interesting forerunner of neuropsychoanalysis, to which it is now making significant contributions in the form of the French Group of Psychoanalysis, Medicine, and Neuroscience. The Paris School's work has been further developed by analysts such as Joyce McDougall (1974, 1989) and the so-called 'second generation' of Marilia Aisenstein (2006) and Jean Benjamin Stora (2007a).
