✨About the Webinar
In this webinar, Zefiro Mellacqua returns to Berne’s scientific appraisal of the emergence in the 1950s and 1960s of psychedelic science, on which Berne founded his unique conceptualization of psychic organs, ego states, cathexis, and his later, as well as preliminary, considerations of the farthest frontiers of transactional analysis, to which he gave the suggestive name of “regression analysis” (Berne, 1961/1975, pp. 224–231).Through a brief history of psychedelic psychiatry, Zefiro will introduce webinar participants to the most recent resurgence of psychedelic science and with that to a more contemporary, yet psychodynamically as well neurobiologically informed, reconsideration of some of the most fundamental ideas of transactional analysis theory and of their possible future applications in the field of psychotherapy and clinical psychiatry.
