COURSE DESCRIPTION:

In this course we will explore a range of seminal psychoanalytic thinkers after Sigmund Freud, including Carl G. Jung, Otto Rank, Sandor Ferenczi, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Melanie Klein, Harry Guntrip, Donald D. Winnicott, Heinz Kohut, Hans Loewald, Marion Milner, Robert D. Stolorow and George E. Atwood. We will examine their understandings of human development; the nature of the psychoanalytic process and relationship; and the ingredients of health and cure. More specifically, we’ll study Freud’s multiple legacies; Jung’s creative psyche; Rank’s psychological birth of the individual; Ferenczi and Fromm’s humanistic and liberatory psychoanalysis; Horney’s self-realization; Winnicott’s psychoanalytic playground; Kohut’s restoration of the self; Loewald and Klein’s fluid mind and symphony of the self; Milner’s psychology of creativity; and Stolorow and Atwood’s intersubjective theory and practice.

This examination of some of the most suggestive psychoanalytic thinking after Freud will illuminate a range of theoretical and clinical concerns that you confront as practicing psychoanalysts/ psychoanalytic psychotherapists; thereby expanding your understanding of your patients, yourselves and the world outside your offices. Candidates will be encouraged to find – and trust – their own clinical voices through engagement with crucial psychoanalytic thinking.
