Psychoanalytic psychotherapies and the free energy principle

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience August 9, 2022 Thomas Rabeyron 15 citations

In this paper I propose a model of the fundamental components of psychoanalytic psychotherapies that I try to explicate with contemporary theories of the Bayesian brain and the Free Energy Principle (FEP). I first show that psychoanalytic therapies require a setting (made up of several envelopes), a particular psychic state and specific processes (transference, free association, dreaming, play,...

Why Most Research Findings About Psi Are False: The Replicability Crisis, the Psi Paradox and the Myth of Sisyphus

Frontiers in Psychology September 18, 2020 Thomas Rabeyron 38 citations

The replicability crisis in psychology has been influenced by the results of nine experiments conducted by Bem (2011) and presented as supporting the existence of precognition. In this paper, we hope to show how the debate concerning these experiments could be an opportunity to develop original thinking about psychology and replicability. After a few preliminary remarks about psi and scientific...

La signification occulte des rêves : Freud pourfendeur ou pourvoyeur de mythes ?

Bulletin de psychologie November 24, 2017 Renaud Évrard, Thomas Rabeyron 5 citations

Sigmund Freud a œuvré pour démarquer la psychanalyse de l’occultisme, notamment en expliquant les rêves, dits prophétiques, par des processus inconscients.

Cela le conduira, notamment en 1925, à reproduire, avec sa fille Anna et Sandor...

Feeling the future: A meta-analysis of 90 experiments on the anomalous anticipation of random future events

In 2011, one of the authors (DJB) published a report of nine experiments in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology purporting to demonstrate that an individual's cognitive and affective responses can be influenced by randomly selected stimulus events that do not occur until after his or her responses have already been made and recorded, a generalized variant of the phenomenon...

Anomalous Experiences, Trauma, and Symbolization Processes at the Frontiers between Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Neurosciences

Frontiers in Psychology December 21, 2015 Thomas Rabeyron, Tianna Loose 40 citations

Anomalous or exceptional experiences are uncommon experiences which are usually interpreted as being paranormal by those who report them. These experiences have long remained difficult to explain, but current progress in cognitive neuroscience and psychoanalysis sheds light on the contexts in which they emerge, as well as on their underlying processes. Following a brief description of the...
