Sažetak

A hundred years after psychoanalysis was introduced, neuroscience has taken a giant step forward. It seems nowadays that
effects of psychotherapy could be monitored and measured by state-of-the art brain imaging techniques.
Today, the psychotherapy is considered as a strategic and purposeful environmental influence intended to enhance learning.
Since gene expression is regulated by environmental influences throughout life and these processes create brain architecture and
influence the strength of synaptic connections, psychotherapy (as a kind of learning) should be explored in the context of
aforementioned paradigm. In other words, when placing a client on the couch, therapist actually placed client’s neuronal network;
while listening and talking, expressing and analyzing, experiencing transference and counter transference, therapist tends to
stabilize synaptic connections and influence dendritic growth by regulating gene-transcriptional activity.
Therefore, we strongly believe that, in the near future, an increasing knowledge on cellular and molecular interactions and
mechanisms of action of different psycho- and pharmaco-therapeutic procedures will enable us to tailor a sophisticated therapeutic
approach toward a person, by combining major therapeutic strategies in psychiatry on the basis of rational goals and evidencebased therapeutic expectations.
