On March 22, 2013, Edward Nersessian, director of The Helix Center, participated in a dialogue with neuroscientist Pierre Magistretti and Psychoanalyst Francois Ansermet on psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic theory and neuroscience at the Aglama Foundation in Geneva. Dr. Nersessian elaborated on his ideas regarding the need to update psychoanalytic theory in light of current research, focusing on the ways new findings challenge fundamental tenets of psychoanalysis and raise questions about the ways emotion; memory and the unconscious are understood.

The event was made accessible on the Agalma Foundation website, and can be viewed below:
