Lines of Research

Line 1: Psychoanalysis: Clinical & Culture

The basic proposal of this line of research is to contribute to the production of knowledge that is built on the articulation of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Its central object of investigation is the subject in culture, with a theoretical-clinical approach. It relates Psychoanalysis with different fields of knowledge, such as Social Psychology, Philosophy and Social Sciences. Due to this expanded clinical conception and considering the multiple transformations and power games that cross the contemporary world, it becomes possible to relate the different forms of subjectivation that are processed today, as well as their effects on the current clinic.

Line 3: Family, Marriage, and Children: Theory and Practice

This line of research consists of family, couple, and child studies based on clinical and sociocultural approaches. The construction of subjectivity in childhood and adolescence is the main object of study, using a psychoanalytical approach, with research on parenting, clinical practice with children, and relationships between adolescent symptoms and social bonds. Family and couple psychotherapy is investigated using systemic and psychoanalytical approaches, emphasizing the articulation of these two approaches. We also investigate relevant aspects of the constitution of the family and contemporary weddings, emphasizing sociocultural factors. Studies have been developed on the following topics: generational psychic transmission; object relations; psychic and clinical constitution of early life; child and infant psychoanalysis; narration and symbolization processes; new marital and family settings; homosexuality; adoption; adolescence conception; health in the family; loving relationships; sexuality and gender; marriage, divorce, and remarriage; conjugality and parenting; couples therapy; and diagnosis and family therapy.

Line 4: Clinical Neurosciences

This line of research seeks to articulate knowledge that is developed by different approaches related to Clinical Psychology and various areas of neuroscience. It addresses the clinical aspects of neurological illness, developmental neuropsychology, and neural circuits that underlie emotional and cognitive processes. We are also interested in sociocultural determinants of the constitution of the individual and relationships to the development, structure, and function of the nervous system. Theoretical and empirical studies involve clinical, correlational, and experimental data. Among the topics of interest are instruments and evaluation practices; neuropsychological rehabilitation throughout development and healthy and pathological aging; neural systems that are involved in memory, emotion, and consciousness; animal models of mental disorders; the etiology and expression of different mental disorders; and child development and the establishment of affective bonds.

Line 5: Health and Human Development

This line of research focuses on studying human development as a process of transformations throughout the life cycle within specific cultural contexts. It also seeks to understand biopsychosocial phenomena that are involved in health and disease processes. It seeks to integrate, within an interdisciplinary context, evaluation initiatives, prevention, intervention, and research practices that promote well-being, quality of life, and physical and mental health. Research is being developed on various topics, such as trajectories of socialization and self-development; beliefs and parenting practices; social interactions and emotional development; construction and adaptation of psychological instruments; assessment of emotional and behavioral problems in childhood; and the assessment of mental health indicators throughout the life cycle.
