Curriculum Winter Fall  |  Winter
 
The fall term typically begins with an introduction and historical overview of fundamental concepts. Questions such as what psychoanalysis is, how it can be helpful will be explored. This is followed by a number of seminars focusing on the original work of Freud, including several of his famous case histories. The final section in the fall term addresses core concepts such as transference/counter-transference, defence/resistance, character, affect, attachment theory, and child development.

The winter term includes a more in-depth study of the different schools of psychoanalysis spanning classical and contemporary, including ego psychology, object relations, self psychology, intersubjectivity, and relational theory. Finally, the curriculum finishes with several seminars on practical applications of theory to technique and with an update on recent scientific developments such as neuropsychonalysis.
