Knowledge of dynamic psychology

The course aims to provide useful tools for understanding the technique of psychoanalytic psychotherapy giving evidence of its effectiveness and its clinical applicability. At the end of the course the student will have acquired knowledge on the setting, the use of the unconscious, clinical listening and psychoanalitical psychopathology.

The first part of this course deals with important technical aspects of the psychotherapeutic treatment such as the therapeutic relationship, the setting, the diagnosis, and the process of treatment. The second part explores the psychoanalytic understanding of specific clinical disorders, including neuroses, psychosis and personality. We try to clarify and deepen the meaning and role of trauma, defence mechanisms, symptom-formation, as well as dreams in this psychoterapeutic process. Will be described with examples the complexity of the therapeutic encounter. We'll consider the clinical understanding of psychoanalytic psychotherapy by examining the role of the relationship between patients and therapists, the expectation and aims of treatment, and the importance of the psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic setting.
