Abstract

E. SAIZ, Mario  and  AMEZAGA, Pilar. Psychoneuroscience and archetypes: building a dialog between analytical psychology and neuroscience. Psicol. USP [online]. 2005, vol.16, n.3, pp.95-117. ISSN 1678-5177.

The sustained development of neurosciences in the study of the brain and human conduct, together with the building of epistemological bridges between brain and human soul among psicosciences, has began to create an integration and complementation of knowledge coming from different scientific disciplines, integration which is looking forward to create a mind-brain unified theory. In the context of this creation of knowledge, the authors are now introducing a new concept named Psiconeuroscience, in order to create a transdisciplinary space of study of the relationships between mind and brain, between neuroscience and psicoscience. Starting from this point of view the authors make a re-vision of the concept of archetype proposed by Analytical Psychology in the light of the contributions made by neuroscience and cognitive psychology to describe as an example of this re-formulation, the patterns of organization that interact in depressive disorders.

Keywords : Neuroscience; Neuropsychology; Junguian psychology.
