DYNAMIC PSYCHOLOGY, ADVANCED
Learning outcomes of the course unit
The students will have to know the recent psychoanalytic theories. Starting from some classical models (in particular, Freud, Klein and the post-Klein authors), they have to examine the authors and the theoretical paradigms of the relational perspective.
They also have to apply the psychoanalytic concepts to narrative as means of construction of the individual identity.
1. Knowledge and ability of understanding. The students will have to learn the themes exposed during the lectures. In particular, they must learn the authors’ thought analysed from the theoretical, methodological and clinical point of view. They must be able to study the narration as means of construction of the individual identity and of Self care.
2. Ability of applying the contents. The students will have to be able to reflect critically on theories, methods and clinical aspects of the various authors and to compare the different models. They must be able to apply the psychoanalytic concepts in the written narration as a way of Self-care in different contexts.
3. Making judgments. Students will develop autonomy of judgment, critical ability and reflection ability on theoretical and methodological problems, on the relationships between specific theoretical positions and on their applications in clinical, personal and social fields.
4. Communication skills. Students have to acquire the technical language and the ability to present and discuss clearly and consistently the themes studied with specialists and non-specialists.
5. Learning ability. Students have to acquire the technical language and the ability to present and discuss clearly and consistently the themes studied with specialists and non-specialists.
Similar aims concern the second part of the programme about the autobiographical and trans-autobiographical narrative.
