The presentation is about a 21-year-old boy who was admitted to the neuropsychiatry ward when he was 16 years old due to the onset of permanent motor tics and behavioural problems. He had previously been given a diagnosis of PANDAS by another specialist. We discuss the possible neurobiological implications of immune response in psychological disease, the psychoanalitic meaning of his symptoms, and the possible therapeutics approaches.
About the AINPSA
The Iberian Neuropsychoanalysis Association (AINPSA) has emerged as the result of a common interest shared by people among psychoanalytical, neuroscientific, and biological backgrounds. Our main goal is to facilitate the study, research and dissemination of Freud’s ideas together with their current developments in neuropsychoanalysis. By holding regular meetings we aim at promoting open dialogue between different disciplines and groups to broaden and deepen our understanding of the body/mind relationship in a dual-aspect monism way. Topics include, but are not limited to, consciousness and free-energy principle, biological underpinnings of the mental, psychosomatology, affective and cognitive neurosciences, etc. We also want to create and develop neuropsychoanalytical projects with practical applications in Health, Arts and Education.
