Course objectives
Main objective of this seminar is to familiarise students with psychoanalytic clinical method and technique and with basic clinical concepts (e.g. transference, countertransference, resistance) and with diagnostic ideas (e.g. neurotic, borderline and psychotic organization of mental functioning). Particular aspects of psychoanalytic practice will be clarified in discussion about series of different clinical papers. These seminars are meant to enrich background knowledge of psychoanalytic practice and to increase familiarity with the atmosphere and processes of clinical analytic work, including giving an opportunity to discuss its opportunities, problems and limitations as a method of treatment.
