Two heads made of gears, illustrating research in cognitive psychology

The school

The scientific committee

The scientific committee brings together researchers and experienced practitioners. It ensures that teaching reflects the state of research and makes doctoral study possible for students who want it.

Some of its members

The committee brings together research and field profiles.

Cora Von Hammerstein

PhD in clinical psychology and senior lecturer. A specialist in addiction with and without substances, in cognitive and behavioural therapies and in acceptance therapies, with eleven years of teaching, research and clinical practice, at Paris 8 University and at the Paris public hospital system.

Gabriela Rezende

PhD in cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychologist. Her work explores the links between perception, memory and mental imagery, notably congenital aphantasia, as well as the development of executive functions in children and adolescents.

Florence Jary

Psychologist and human resources consultant, a graduate of the École de Psychologues Praticiens and a professional coach. Twenty-five years of HR experience in international groups, and co-founder of an HR support firm.

Jean-Denis Blanc, director of programmes

Hélène Zapata, director of the human resources track

Work and organisational psychologist, specialist in talent management, HR consultant and a teacher at the École de Psychologues Praticiens for five years.

Its role

The committee ensures that what is taught reflects current research rather than dated popularisation. It also guarantees advanced teaching of research methods, a condition for doctoral study.

That is a useful counterweight in a school that puts practice first: practice without scientific grounding drifts quickly.
