[Congress of Clinical and Psychopathological Genetics. Conclusions]

Pavlov is reported to have compared his own line of research and Freud's one to two tunnels driven through a mountain by two teams of sappers who hope to be able to join. The ways of Genetics and of Psychoanalytical Psychopathology have in common their concern with Time but their methods are drastically different they apprehend different fecats of reality. Nevertheless both imply a strong reference to Fate. Consequences of genetic loading can be attenuated by scientific progress but in the absence of ethical boundaries research may unintentionally open Pandora's box.
