O Departamento de Pesquisa do Contemporâneo

The aim of this article is to describe the foundation process and the history of the Research Department of "Contemporâneo"- Institute of Psychoanalysis and Transdisciplinarity. We hope that this experience report can assist in the development of similar strategies in other clinical institutions and is a way of informing the therapists involved in the studies carried out by the Department about the consequences of their participation.
