The lectures provide a comprehensive
introduction to the principal concepts of
psychoanalysis, how it can help us to
understand many aspects of human experience
and the practice of psychoanalytic
psychotherapy. The course considers the ways
in which the person comes to terms with
experience and the part that dreaming, relating
to others and creativity plays in this. It looks at
the impact of loss and trauma and the particular
patterns that emerge from childhood and
continue to affect our lives throughout
adulthood.
The course aims to encourage discussion and
to develop our understanding of how
psychoanalytic psychotherapy treats not just the
surface of personal problems, seeking instead
to reach the underlying, often unconscious
sources of a person’s distress. The course also
provides a valuable introduction to the master’s
level clinical training in psychoanalytic
psychotherapy with children, adolescents and
adults offered by the Department of Psychiatry
and the Irish Institute of Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy.
On completion of the course participants will
receive a certificate of attendance.
