148. Sleep, Dreams and Sigmund Freud with Prof Mark Solms
About this episode
Prof Nutt speaks with Prof Mark Solms about sleep, dreams, and the relevance of Freud's theories in modern neuropsychology.
Join us in this episode as Prof Nutt speaks to Prof Mark Solms, a leading expert on Freud and author of the new book The Only Cure. Mark details his early fascination with neuropsychology that led him to study the neurological underpinnings of sleep and dreams. He explains how some of his own research lent more credence to Freud’s claims and deepened his interest in psychoanalysis. Mark concludes by discussing what the only cure symbolizes: talking therapies that address the root causes of psychopathology, as opposed to treatments that mask the symptoms.
