The article by Abreu Rodrigues (2021) presents Psychoconstruction, an innovative therapeutic approach that seeks to understand and treat psychological and psychiatric problems through the analysis of primitive memory, closely linked to genetics and ancestors. The author argues that, by accessing deep and often unconscious memories, it is possible to identify dysfunctional behavior patterns and limiting beliefs that may have their origin in ancestral experiences, and thus, rework them to promote healing and well-being.
Psychoconstruction differs from traditional therapies by going beyond consciousness, seeking the origin of problems in genetic and ancestral roots. The therapy uses relaxation and free association techniques to access primitive memories, modeling cognitive functions and leading the individual to make decisions and adjust their routine according to their uniqueness.
This innovative approach combines elements of neuroscience, genetics and psychology, offering a new perspective for treating mental disorders. By understanding the architecture of the human mind and the influence of primitive memory, Psychoconstruction enables the individual to build a new model of themselves, with better psychological and social performance.
Dzirasa et al. (2024) discuss the importance of including individuals of different ancestries, especially from minority communities, in biomedical research to combat health disparities. The authors highlight the African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative (AANRI) as a promising model for brain genomics research, integrating community leadership, scientific research, and scientific communication. AANRI seeks to ensure that scientific discoveries benefit everyone, especially historically marginalized communities.
