Interviews
​​I love studying personalities through music and art. The way one's personality manifests itself in the work of art has always fascinated me! Click on the link below for my interview with the International Society of Applied Psychoanalysis (Société Internationale de Psychanalyse Appliquée) on the topic of personality structures, defense mechanisms, and jazz improvisation.

2- the value of qualitative research, as opposed to its quantitative counterpart, in psychology and psychoanalysis.
