Evolution of Freudian Theory (Fall)
5:30-7:00 p.m.
This course will track the evolution of Freud's personality theory from one which emphasized the phenomenoon of split consciousness and the libidinal drive and its suppression as the main features of personality organization to a more holistic view of the personality. Through this evolution there emerged ideas about narcisssism (the self), internalized objects, aggression, the tripartite model of the mind and the role of the ego in defense, and especially in the management of anxiety. The purpose of the course is to illustrate the fact that Freud developed many of the building blocks of a mental theory of the whole person that can encompass all of what we now think of as the structural theory: ego psychology, object relations theory, self psychology, subjectivity and relational ideas. As time permits, aspects of the structural theory will also be critiqued.

2:00 - 3:30 P.M.
In this course, we will examine various aspects of the termination process in psychoanalysis not only as the final stage in the therapeutic work, but also in general as it relates to losses, endings, and death. Analytic and associated writings, as well as clinical material will be used in an effort to examine the anxieties and resistances aroused by termination, and to develop an approach to listening to patients' unconscious communications as a guide through this important process.

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.

Technique I, Part 1: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Psychopathology and Psychodynamic Assessment* (Fall)
1:00 - 2:30 P.M.
As the universe is ordered, so too is the human mind. Psychoanalysis explains human dimensions, healthy and pathological. Assessment is the task of diagnostics. Treatment is determined in accordance with the principles governing the mental apparatus. In preparation for analytic work, the analyst initiates the working alliance, assesses the patient's condition, offers a response, clarifies roles, and establishes parameters. In this course, participants will proceed from initial patient contact and conclude where the analysis formally begins.
