Mark Solms PhD

Why We Need to Play — A Conversation with Mark Solms

Ahead of the EFT World Summit 2027, Dr. Mark Solms — one of the world's leading neuroscientists and the founder of neuropsychoanalysis — sits down with Dr. Paul Greenman. Mark lays out the foundations of neuropsychoanalysis and what it reveals about emotion, explaining its relevance for the work of EFT. From there, he turns to the importance of play, and why it matters not just for children but for how all of us feel, connect, and grow. It's a rich conversation and a glimpse of the thinking Mark will bring to the Summit stage in Vancouver at the Summit.
