Videos
Dr. Kiritsis has created some thought-provoking educational videos spanning interdisciplinary areas like clinical psychology and psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. They are all on YouTube and are made available on this page for your convenience.
The Organic Delusions
In this video Dr. Kiritsis transforms into different fictional characters as a way of demonstrating the characteristics of different organic monothematic delusions and subsequently describes the neuroanatomical lesion sites correlated with their phenomenology.
Hearing Voices
In this third episode of his thought-provoking series “Contentious Issues in Theoretical Neuroscience” Dr. Kiritsis tackles the subject of hearing voices/auditory verbal hallucinations. Kiritsis explores the phenomenology of voice-hearing, classification systems, the existing cognitive neurobiological models with their limited explanatory powers, the conventional wisdom vis-à-vis their origin, Jaynes’s hemispheric model of psychosis, and much, much more.
Does Free Will Exist?
In this "Contentious Issues in Theoretical Neuroscience" feature, Dr. Kiritsis tackles the question of whether free will exists in any objective sense. He covers the emergence of both fate and free will as philosophical constructs in history, the manifestation of determinism and nondeterminism in applied disciplines like clinical psychology, and how specific developments in clinical and experimental research (i.e., lesion studies, brain pathology, Benjamin Libet's mind-matter interaction experiments, his own precognitive dream research) inform the debate. The conclusion tendered is sensitive to the sum of theoretical, clinical, and experimental findings.
Is Empathy Innate or Learned?
Dr. Kiritsis picks apart the question, "Is empathy, the human ability to connect with, relate to, and share the feelings of another, innate and hardwired into our brains or learned through cues in the social environment?"
