Argument: Recent research in philosophy and human sciences demonstrates both the relevance of phenomenology for psychology and psychoanalysis, and the fertility of the phenomenological approach for the understanding of the human behavior. The conceptual configuration formed by concepts, such as self, other(s), consciousness, and unconscious, is able to provide a comprehensive and stimulating framework for research in philosophy and human sciences.

The organizers are looking for papers that advance the disciplines of psychology and psychoanalysis from the perspective of the phenomenological movement, as well as contributions in the field of phenomenology that takes inspiration in the recent developments psychology and psychoanalysis, including from their experimental and clinical practices.
