The panelists will briefly present their ideas about the relevance of systematic empirical studies to clinical work in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy. They will discuss among themselves and with the audience:
How can one study the mechanisms of actions in psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis (process)?
What are the results of psychoanalytic approaches beyond symptomatic change (outcome)?
How do basic science studies (such as neuropsychology, linguistic studies, cognitive science) contribute to the practice of psychoanalysis?
