Course contents
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.
