Course Description and Goals: This course is designed as a participatory seminar in which students will explore contemporary psychoanalytic theory through a careful study and reenactment of published case presentations and discussions. Each class will be designed as a round table discussion with students performing the roles of presenters and panelists. The teachers will act as moderators of the discussion.
The goals for each student are:
- To become familiar with the major concepts in contemporary psychoanalytic theory
- To recognize the ideas, controversies and innovations that comprise the contemporary psychoanalytic discourse
- To critically examine contemporary psychoanalytic ideas and their application to clinical practice
