The Spatio-Temporal Approach represents a novel point of view on psychic processes and psychopathology. When the basis of our Self is disrupted or even lost in terms of the underlying world-brain relationship, non-integration of internal and external stimuli might occur that leads to alterations in embodiment and, furthermore, to the disruption of our Self’s relationship and continuity with the world. This failure can thus be seen as a disconnection that threatens both the sense of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, which can lead to different forms of psychopathology. The fields of psychoanalysis and neuroscience together take the role of the transformative function and are seen as a vehicle for re-establishing the necessary alignment for the continuity and the expansion of the Self from the private, to the public, to the world.
What are the dynamics behind the complexity of the Self?
Is the Self unitary or multifaceted?
How do we experience Self-continuity?
These and other questions will be discussed during this meeting.

Daniela Flores Mosri
Daniela Flores Mosri is a psychologist who started her research career investigating sleep disorders at the Reticular Formation Lab (run by neurophysiologist Dr Raúl Alvarado Calvillo) at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Their epidemiological research was awarded second place by the National Council of Psychology (CNEIP) in 2000. Dr Flores Mosri trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and her interest in the dialogue between psychoanalysis and neuroscience began in 1999. With the help of Dr Alvarado, Daniela started studying potential methods to do research in neuropsychoanalysis. She then began her doctoral studies, focusing on addiction and examining the spontaneous neurochemical manipulations by users of psychotoxic drugs as a method of investigating the correlates of neurochemical modifications in affect and psychodynamic features. She has studied borderline pathology from a mainly affective perspective, and is currently conducting research on latent depression. Dr Flores Mosri is a lecturer and researcher at Universidad Intercontinental. She has been a member of the National Researchers System (SNI) at the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT). Her clinical practice focuses on borderline states, addiction, depression, psychosomatic illness, and sleep and eating disorders, amongst others. Since 2014 Daniela has been a liaison officer in Latin America for the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society. She is also Managing Editor of the journal Neuropsychoanalysis.
Georg Northoff
Dr Georg Northoff is a philosopher, neuroscientist, and psychiatrist, holding degrees in all three disciplines. Originally from Germany, he was recruited to head up the Mind, Brain, and Neuroethics Research Unit at The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research (IMHR), affiliated with the University of Ottawa. Dr Northoff researches the relationship between the brain and mind in its various facets, focusing on the neural and biochemical mechanisms related to higher-order mental functions like consciousness and Self in both healthy people and in those with such mental illnesses as depression and schizophrenia. “The question driving me is: why and how can our brain construct subjective phenomena like Self, consciousness, and emotions”. Dr Northoff is one of the leading figures in linking philosophy and neuroscience and is the author of 260 journal articles and 15 books, including Neuro-philosophy and the Healthy Mind (2016, Norton Publishing, New York), “Neuropsychoanalysis in practice” (Oxford University Press, 2011), and “The spontaneous brain.
