Course/Module description:
This course covers the key psychoanalytic ideas as they developed during the twentieth century.
The course discusses how major psychoanalysts (Freud, Jung, Erikson, Mahler, Klein, Winnicott, Kohut and others) have suggested us to understand the subject, the difficulties he approaches as essential part of his life, and the appropriate way to help him. During the course we will clarify the internal connection between theoretical concepts and therapeutic work with reference to examples.
