From SPF viewpoint (which is, as stated earlier, the same as Freud\u2019s), psychoanalysis is neither an initiatory technique for self-realization nor conceptual poetry: it is a science, akin to all others, albeit not devoid of peculiarities. Any attempt to apply a methodological paradigm born in other contexts and not alien to the world of psychoanalysis, with the illusion to thereby address issues of experimental control and respond to criticism about the validity of the theory, is hazardous and harmful. As it is happening in other fields, the route to pursue is rather that of establishing an internal epistemology, able to take account of the peculiarities of psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Much of the research activities then become the subject of publications within the journal <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metapsychologica.it\">Metapsychologica<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, or other relevant journals, as well as presentations and conferences.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in participating in the activities can send an email to <strong><a href=\"mailto:info@scuoladipsicanalisifreudiana.it\">info@scuoladipsicanalisifreudiana.it<\/a><\/strong> specifying their interests.<\/p>\n<p>Below we present the main research areas active within our institute.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Epistemology of psychoanalysis&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Fundamental epistemological and methodological issues are addressed with reference to the specific psychoanalytic object of inquiry.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Neotranscendentalism in psychoanalysis&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Kant&#8217;s thought is integrated with Freud&#8217;s, finding evidence of how metapsychology not only originates in the transcendental horizon, but develops within it bringing profound enrichments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Formalization of metapsychology&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23707070&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Metapsychology contains an implicit formalism in that the objects and relationships described by Freud are located within a coherent model.
