Learning Objectives

Provide adequate knowledge of the father's thinking of psychoanalysis and of the evolution of his theory and its applications in the clinic. To be able to formulate a diagnosis and to construct a therapeutic intervention project according to a psychodynamic orientation. Since Freud has put together the biology and the theory of evolution, anthropology and sociology with the clinic of psychic phenomena, we will work to allow students to grasp the complexity of psychic reality, and the logic of the resulting symptom, as well of its manifestation with the "discomfort of civilization". Since psychoanalysis has been constantly evolving, the thought of some of the greatest Freudian posts will be presented, including: Klein, in particular for his work with children, Bion for working with groups and Lacan for his contribution to the understanding of psychosis. In the laboratories it will be possible to compare also with the discussion of clinical cases and to make a significant group therapy experience. Specific attention will be given to the reading, from a psychodynamic perspective, of the changes taking place in our society. ent. From Winnicott to Lacan to Miller: the object relations, the object relation and the relationship with the "object to Zenith". Love and its mutations: the relational use of sex. Contemporary symptoms and the unconscious not removed. The symptom as a subjective treatment of sources of distress. Depression in neurosis and depression in psychosis. Individual or group psychoanalytic treatment: peculiarity and usability. The formation of the psychoanlist and his private role in the institution.
