Abstract

The article presents the original and integral text of the interview conducted by Prof. Laura Bastianelli with Prof. Bruce Ecker during the 2019 Rome Conference, "Psychotherapies for a New Humanism." Prof. Ecker answered three stimulus questions by illustrating how the kind of neuroplasticity known as memory reconsolidation can illuminate the landscape of psychotherapy and provide answers to some of our clients' existential dilemmas.
