Theory & Technique

(1-2 Credits)

We present psychoanalytic principles and core ideas with a particular emphasis on their impact on clinical practice. We cover topics such as unconscious processes, theories of motivation, transference and countertransference, defense and resistance, hate and destructiveness, affect regulation, intersubjectivity, dialectical constructivism, recognition and mutuality, enactments, and therapeutic action. This core area of study contains various course sections addressing selected topics.
