Course program - Last names A-K
The program is developed around the fundations of dynamic psychology: the main theoretical concepts (with particular attention to dreams interpretation, transference, countertransference and the different component of the analytic setting) will be illustrated and critically discussed following the historical, epistemic and structural perspectives. Reading and analysis of selected papers is proposed as a tool to develop an initial sensitivity to the occurrence of dynamical phenomena. The evolution of different perspectives of the psychoanalitic thought, from drives theory to analytic psychology, object relation theory and the intersubjective perspectives will be illustrated and critically discussed. The focus will be maintained on the epistemic pluralism that is characteristic of contemporary psychoanalysis.
