The Metapsychological Profile and Its Applications to Clinical Work (Winter)
11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.


This course will offer the student the opportunity to become familiar with Anna Freud’s developmental profile and to study the points of view of metapsychology upon which it is based. Readings will include A. Freud’s seminal papers (1965) on the assessment of normality and pathology in childhood. In contrast to descriptive, symptom-based diagnosis, this approach allows for a comprehensive, multidimensional understanding of personality based upon dynamic, genetic, economic, structural, and adaptive data. Recent additions to the profile will be presented. Discussions will focus on how students may apply Metapsychological formulations in their own clinical work.
