Myriam Amoës is a distinguished psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, currently leading her practice at the Cabinet de psychothérapie et psychanalyse. With a robust academic background from KU Leuven, she combines her expertise in psychology with a profound understanding of Middle Eastern cultures, having worked extensively across Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Iran, and Yemen. This unique blend of skills allows her to approach psychoanalysis with a culturally sensitive lens, particularly valuable in addressing the complexities of identity and trauma in individuals from diverse backgrounds.
At her practice, Myriam focuses on the essence of psychoanalytic therapy, which involves uncovering unconscious and repressed elements through a thorough exploration of a patient's past. She employs foundational techniques such as free association and floating attention, enabling her clients to express their thoughts and feelings freely. This method not only fosters a safe therapeutic environment but also encourages deeper self-discovery and healing.
In addition to her clinical work, Myriam has been involved in key projects that bridge her interests in psychology and Middle Eastern studies. Her collaboration with the Centre de recherche et de documentation at KU Leuven's Department of Islamic Studies (Inforiënt) highlights her commitment to integrating academic research with practical therapeutic applications. Her insights into the Arab-Israeli conflict and ancient history further enrich her understanding of the socio-political factors that influence mental health in the region.
With a passion for research and academic writing, Myriam continues to contribute to the field through publications and lectures, sharing her knowledge on the intersections of psychology, culture, and history. Her multifaceted expertise positions her as a leading figure in the realm of psychoanalysis, dedicated to fostering understanding and healing in her clients.
