Description

This course examines the principles of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thought and therapy from Freud to the present. Classic psychoanalytic approaches through modern object relations, ego-psychology, and self-psychology paradigms will be presented. Emphasis will be placed on applying the principles to the actual practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy: Freud, neo-Freudians, object-relations, ego-psychology and self-psychology, and the implications for the therapeutic relationship. An in-depth critique of how psychodynamic principles coexist in the midst of the modern clinical milieu will be accomplished.
