Key words: Adlerian theory, neuropsychoanalysis, Self
In this second part of the article the assumptions of Georg Northoff’s theoretical construct are examined together with those of other important exponents of neuropsicoanalysis in the light of a possible compatibility, within a common psychodynamic perspective, with the assumptions of Alfred’s Individual Psychology Adler, in particular the concept of the Self. Some philosophical assumptions related to the structuring of the Self are also exposed.
The conclusion is that we can arrive at a necessarily hybrid knowledge that draws on both the philosophical and psychodynamic theories and the empirical data provided by the neuroscience pending a new epistemological paradigm.
