LERNER, Rogerio. Sciences, psychoanalysis and evidence. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2023, vol.57, n.4, pp.37-52.  Epub 04-Nov-2024. ISSN 0486-641X.  https://doi.org/10.69904/0486-641x.v57n4.04.

For more than 20 years, Freud performed rigorous neuroscientific work. In this article, the author discusses some of its consequences: 1) provision of guidelines for conceptions of the psyche that remained constant in psychoanalysis, influencing psychopathology and therapy; 2) its articulation with what is specific to psychoanalysis, making up a set of knowledge central to human experience, efficient in addressing questions arising from different scientific fields; 3) constant assessment of the relevance of hypotheses through evidence of manifestations of the dynamic functioning of emotions, in processes of varying degrees of representational extension, memory, quality of transformation of intrapsychic and intersubjective experiences and language. Thus, psychoanalysis is part of the sciences, and several contemporary neuroscientists make clear the importance of Freud’s contributions to what they have been researching, with psychoanalysis providing effective clinical propositions in randomized controlled clinical trials with blinding method and statistical data treatment.
