PSYCHOANALYTIC COURSE OUTLINE:
(Subject to Change)

THIRD YEAR COURSES

Psychoanalytic Theory: Comparative Psychoanalysis II

Major contributions to the practice of psychoanalysis were made by British and American psychoanalysts. Readings will be selected from Melanie Klein, Winnicott, Fairbairn, Guntrip, Balont, Jacobson, Kernberg, and Ogden. Issues regarding the growth of self, early development crisis, primitive defense maneuvers and the “positions” of development will be discussed. Discussion will include how those theoretical constructs are applied in clinical psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalytic Theory: Comparative Psychoanalysis III

Continued discussion from Comparative Psychoanalysis II.

Psychoanalytic Technique: Countertransference

Historical papers from the classical and Kleinian perspectives are reviewed. Key issues from contemporary psychoanalytic literature are also discussed to provide a modern outlook on the role of counter transference in psychoanalysis. The application of counter transference to clinical practice will be emphasized.

Clinical Case Seminar

Candidates in each of the three semesters will present clinical analytic process data. Technique and multiple approaches to the material will be discussed. Presentation of case material is expected from each candidate.

Psychopathology: Perversion, Perverse Phenomenon, And Perverse Fantasies

Perversion as a concept in the psychoanalytic literature will be traced from the early writings of Freud through Bak, Greenacre, et.al., to the contemporary writings of Kernberg, McDougall and Chasseguet-Smirgel. The focus of the course will be on perversion as a compromise formation that can be associated with the full range of diagnostic entities. Perversions will be differentiated from perverse phenomenon and fantasies.

Psychopathological: Borderline and Psychotic States

This course examines the basic concepts of the psychoanalytic theory of the psychosis, beginning with French, and extending to British and American psychoanalysis. Borderline pathology is discriminated, and its unique symptom pattern and treatment implications are reviewed.

Elective Courses

Candidates will discuss and choose an elective to be studied.
