Preventive Clinical Psychology
My current line of research is Clinical Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and its relation with one’s psychic development. Broadening the knowledge of the successive and gradative steps which lie within the path from the state of psychic non-integration to psychic integration is a significant endeavor for those who dedicate themselves to daily psychotherapeutic work.

The possibility of expanding and broadening the knowledge of one’s psychic development may present us with new possibilities of psychotherapeutic intervention on developing children and adolescents, or on adults who seek for a psychic change. The current psychotherapeutic clinic’s demands press for innovations which can encompass both the long-term psychoanalytic treatment and the shortened psychotherapies. It is my goal to continue working on this research perspective.
