Psychoanalytic Research: Progress and Process Developmental Affective Neuroscience and Clinical Practice
نویسنده
چکیده
O a number of years members of my study groups and I have used this column to offer contributions to psychoanalytic research, especially as it relates to clinical practice. I have suggested that an integration of psychoanalytic information with observational studies and experimental data from the disciplines that border our field, especially neuroscience, can offer a deeper understanding of both the function and structure of the human unconscious. Psychoanalytic research informed by interdisciplinary knowledge can be not only experimental but theoretical, capable therefore of acting as a fertile source to both pragmatic clinical applications and to the generation of testable hypotheses. In this column I use a perspective from neuropsychoanalysis and affective neuroscience in order to offer a model of clinical expertise.
