An Evening of Discussion in which Distinguished San Diegans Working in the Arts and Sciences Talk With Us About the Interface of Their Work and Ours
FORMS OF EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH FOR PSYCHOANALYTICALLY-BASED TREATMENTS
In this presentation, Dr. Yankelovich will discuss how the emphasis of neuroscience on the importance of unconscious mental processes may open a new chapter in the history of psychoanalytic-based therapy – with both positive and negative consequences. He will elaborate on how less formal modes of evidenced-based research, and a willingness to conduct it, can both benefit clinicians and counter the anti-fashionable criticisms leveled at psychoanalysis, thus enhancing its effectiveness and credibility.
