Unfortunately it is little-known, above all, by clinicians of the IPA, how many psychoanalytic research groups are currently involved in extra-clinical studies. Fonagy (2009) spoke in a comprehensive survey of the worldwide “psychotherapy bee-keepers ” that have verified with their industrious bee colonies the effectiveness of psychoanalytic short-term therapies (compare further overviews, e.g. Emde & Fonagy (1997); Fonagy, 2001; Galatzer-Levy, 1997; Hauser, 2002; Holt, 2003; Jones, 1993; Kächele (2009), Kernberg (2006); Leichsenring & Rabung (2008); Perron (2006) , Safran (1991); Schachter & Luborsky, 1998; Schlessinger, 2008; Stern, 2008; Wallerstein, 2001, and this Third Edition of the Open Door Review). Careful extra-clinical research requires enormous expenditures that can only be carried out in a research network that is correspondingly endowed and supported by a constant process of reflection of the accompanying dependencies – also among the generations of involved researchers. The LAC Study is an attempt to meet contemporary research criteria in psychotherapy in an attempt to “prove” the outcomes of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic, long-term therapies, and thus convince insurance companies in Germany to finance these kinds of treatments for chronically depressed patients (see summary in the ODR). 'c10%$90*(2!:$DB%0!-^>!! We have discussed the interdisciplinary dialogue with the neurosciences and Embodied Cognitive Science in several publications and have summarized clinical, conceptual and empirical studies in this field (see e.g. Leuzinger-Bohleber, in press). Whereas, these interdisciplinary studies are fascinating, the exclusive research projects for the acceptance of psychoanalysis in the modern world of science are not. Creative exchange with attachment research and empirical developmental research, for example, comprise further important fields in interdisciplinary research. No less significant is the collaborative interdisciplinary research with literature and cultural studies, with social psychology, philosophy, the media- and communication sciences as well as ethno-psychoanalysis.
