Editors' Introduction

This fourth issue of Neuro-Psychoanalysis features an

unprecedented interdisciplinary dialogue on the fascinating topic of confabulation, involving leading neuroscientific and psychoanalytic experts. Also of
considerable interest in this issue are the continuing
discussions of J. Allan Hobson's paper (Vol. 1, no. 2,
1999) on the neuropsychology of dreaming and Paul
Whittle's paper in the same issue on experimental psychology and psychoanalysis. Readers are encouraged
to participate in all these ongoing discussions, and to
submit commentaries on the original articles by Yovell
and Watt, published in this issue. These discussions
take place via our website (www.neuro-psa.com)
which functions as an electronic supplement to the
journal.
Our website is also of interest in its own right.
We have recently inaugurated a new page devoted to
online discussion of clinical matters (click on <clinical forum. The current discussion revolves around
a contribution by Birgit Borg Mathiesen on the assessment of frontal lobe dysfunction. Visitors to the website can also register online for the Second
International Neuro-Psychoanalysis Congress to be
held in New York in April 2001, and apply for founding membership of the International Society for
Neuro-Psychoanalysis Society (see Bulletin at the
back of this issue).

We are pleased to announce that Neuro-Psychoanalysis has been designated the official organ of the
International Neuro-Psychoanalysis Society. Our Regional Bulletins section will be incorporated into the
Society's Bulletin.
The next issue of the journal will be organized
around an article by the eminent Italian neuropsychologist Carlo Semenza, on the theoretical and methodological relationship between psychoanalysis and
cognitive neuropsychology.

Call for Papers

Neuro-Psychoanalysis publishes unsolicited papers on
any topic that can facilitate consilience between psychoanalysis and neuroscience. Empirical (i.e., clinical
and experimental) contributions will receive due
prominence in the pages of the journal, but space will
also be provided for contributions on scholarly topics
of relevant interdisciplinary interest (e.g., history of
medicine, philosophy of mind). Wherever appropriate,
submitted papers will be published together with invited peer commentaries. All papers (whether solicited
or unsolicited, and including commentaries) are subject to peer review before they are accepted for publication.
