On the biological basis for psychodynamic collective principles

Alessandro Sergi

Abstract


Clinical psychology represents a complex science deriving from different forms of knowledge (Benjamin, 2023; Davey, 2021; Lo Coco et al., 2022). Its multidisciplinary roots and current directions are considered as a form of strength (Lilienfeld & Basterfield, 2020; Merlo & Myles, 2024; Myles, 2022; Ricciardi et al., 2023; Warner et al., 2016; Wertheimer & Puente, 2020).


Keywords


Biological Basis of Psychology; Clinical Psychology; Complexity; Epistemology.
