PSY 721 - Psychoanalytic Approaches I

3
This course is designed to provide an overview of the history and development of psychoanalysis, including but not limited to classical Freudian (drives, dreams, defenses, and transference) ego psychology, object relations (British and Middle Schools), self-psychology, relational, intersubjective, affect regulation (Allan Schore and colleagues), and mentalization (Peter Fonagy and colleagues) approaches. This course will focus on applying each of these theoretical approaches to case studies in the service of formulating comprehensive case conceptualizations and treatment approaches. Additionally, this course will examine the efficacy and evidence base of brief and long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapies.

Prerequisites: PSY 600.
