Freud Is Dead; Long Live Freud: Psychodynamic Approaches to Modern Questions

Sunday, May 26, 2019 · Washington, DC

Oral · Personality/Emotion

Modern psychology has relegated psychodynamic theory to archival status. Freud was schooled in the sciences of his day but many of his speculations would not fit modern canons. Many psychodynamic hypotheses have hardly been tested. Today’s presenters show how psychodynamic principles can explore modern psychology’s questions.
