In 2011, CEINP continued producing scientific publications, facilitating collaborative research, and offering courses to specialized and nonspecialized audiences, exploring the points of connection between neuroscience and psychoanalysis in order to refine both theoretical and practical approaches. Our focus on the presentation and discussion of theoretical literature and of broad clinical practice, from a transdisciplinary perspective, was very fruitful this past year.
Dr. Soussumi published Paradigmas metamórficos. Desvelando a natureza dionisíaca do real [Metamorphic paradigms: Unveiling the Dionysian nature of reality], a book that contains his main ideas and sets forth his understanding of the human being and of human nature. Soussumi argues that the illusory character of reality inherent in all human knowledge should be the basis for attempting to understand reality through a transdisciplinary approach. The evolutionary adaptive systems (nature, human beings, society, and all other human production) are described as complex, in which the human being, seen as an animal undergoing an evolutionary process, plays a leading role and, because of human nature, relate to himself, to others, to nature, and to the cosmos in a dangerous and menacing way. Soussumi tries to show that complex systems, at a certain point of life, can either break down or evolve, arguing that the human being must evolve in terms of humanistic values to leave behind the hominid condition and reach the humanidea one, which depends highly on his personal will and determination and may be the only way to avoid extinction and to lead our planet and the cosmos to a better future. And, last but not least, the complexity inherent in nature, human beings, society, and other human productions urges humans to create new paradigms to understand them, underlying Soussumi's advocacy of the transdisciplinary approach.
