Psychodynamic Research

The international psychodynamic research network aims to present, continuously update, and expand the evidence for psychodynamic concepts and therapy. It bridges clinical practice with empirical research to enhance the understanding and treatment of mental health problems and disorders from a psychodynamic perspective. The network's mission is to advance psychotherapy and psychological science.

"Psycho-analysis is really a method of treatment like others. It has its triumphs and its defeats, its difficulties, its limitations, its indications."
Sigmund Freud (1933)
