Course objectives
The seminar is prepared for the students of master degree study of psychology and psychotherapy and is finished with a credit. It is designed as a part of applied psychotherapy approaches who try to demonstrate the situations and thinking as close as possible to the clinical practice. The weekend seminar is considered as a free continuation of an Autumn seminar ‘Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy’. The main focus of the seminar is to bring closer a particular way how each psychoanalytic school approaches and deals with specific clinical situations. The seminar is intended for a limited number of students. The principal objective of the seminar is to encourage the curiosity and understanding of a psychoanalytic attitude in different settings (first interview, the dream, difficult clinical situations, case studies) through group discussions, video-presentations, scenarios and case study presentations. The secondary objective is to get a basic notion about different psychoanalytical models, their use and critical and differentiated view.
