Reading "The Only Cure" by Mark Solms and struck by the data on the "sleeper effect" in long-term psychotherapy. @Mark_Solms Unlike many treatments that plateau, the benefits of psychoanalysis actually increase after the therapy ends. 📈 ​The numbers speak for themselves: ​Therapy vs. Meds: Psychotherapy (0.85) shows nearly 3x the effect size of SSRIs (0.31) for depression. ​The Big Leap: Long-term psychoanalytic therapy reached a massive 1.80 effect size for overall improvement. ​Durability: While meds often work only while you take them, analysis targets the causal mechanisms. ​The "Sleeper" Win: Patients with complex pathology saw effect sizes jump from 0.94 to 1.02 years after termination. ​Long recognized yet often downgraded alignment between Freudian theory and modern neuropsychology. 🧠✨ simonandschuster.com/books/T… #Psychology #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #TheOnlyCure

What if Freud’s theories of dreams contain more truth than once thought?☁️ @Mark_Solms joined @ProfDavidNutt to discuss how his groundbreaking scientific research on dreaming led him to pioneer the use of psychoanalysis in modern neuroscience. drugscience.org.uk/podcast/e…

A nice podcast 'debate' with a colleague who has slightly different views about consciousness than me. (I had to leave 15 minutes before the end -- they ran over the allotted time -- in case you wonder why I suddenly disappear from the conversation! youtu.be/R7insQBa-qo

A review of my about-to-be-published book. I hope there is no pay wall. This book is not going to win me many friends. But it says what I truly believe needs to be said ... theguardian.com/books/2026/j…
