Classical ideas about ego, conflict, superego, fantasy, etc will be considered alongside contemporary ideas about mentalization, intersubjectivity, and self-cohesion.

"Psychoanalytic Technique, Part I" This course will be devoted to the exploration of the psychoanalytic process, situation, relationship and dialogue.
