• Professor Ph.D, Department of Clinical Psychology, Psychology Institute, USP (1993)

Both my research projects fall into the “Investigations into Psychoanalysis” line of research. The Psychoanalytic method is used with the purpose of developing studies and research – always maintaining a critical analysis of Psychoanalysis, its theoretical body and practical applicability within the realm of the French Psychoanalysis of Freudian-Lacanian orientation. These projects began in 2010 and are listed below:

1. Psychoanalysis and the contemporary demands: the psychoanalyst and the public health system*
2. Psychoanalysis and children: childhood and the current symptoms*
