Abstract

Iran, as one of the oldest civilizations in the world, is positioned at the crossroads of important trade routes linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, resulting in enormous cultural interactions with the East and West. The development of modern psychiatry and psychodynamic psychiatry in Iran occurred in the context of the broader process of modernization through interactions with the West. Mentioning key scholars and influences that helped establish a psychodynamic tradition within centralized government-led systems of mental health care and medical education, the author describes various stages of the development of psychodynamic psychiatry in Iran.
