Abstract

For this work we recognize that due to the increase in the population of multiple psychological disorders, as
well as social problems linked to the field of mental health, neuroscientists and psychoanalysts such as
Kandel, Gauchet, Panksepp, Chessick, among others, relate the theoretical precepts of both approaches to
propose a new method that allows a complete intervention, through the use of technological tools, to
identify the functioning of the central nervous system and psychoanalytic techniques that allow us to know
the subjective processes and the emotional reality of the human being, in order to satisfy their psychological
needs. Therefore, we begin to emphasize that the last decade has seen significant advances both in
neurobiological research of the brain and in psychoanalytic studies of the mind. The emerging discipline of
developmental neuropsychoanalysis has been a fertile repository for incorporating interdisciplinary data
from psychology, developmental biology, and neurochemistry. This new subdiscipline of psychoanalysis has
returned to the fundamental problem of the mechanisms of developmental changes, but mainly in the
change of psychic functions and structures. The result is the generation of more complex psycho-neurobiological models of brain-mind-body change, not only at the beginning but also at all subsequent stages of
development. Therefore, this work will present the analysis of a clinical case and the necessary intervention
strategies from neuropsychoanalysis and theoretical and clinical reading from the same approach. We
venture to explore how an integrated understanding of psychological and neurobiological processes can
shed light on the emotional and behavioral challenges children face, with a particular focus on the practical
application of clinical consultation
