Course summary
Our course provides you with a thorough grounding in psychoanalytic theory through which to explore its application both to the clinical setting and to culture and society. Starting with the cultural milieu from which psychoanalysis emerged, you begin with Freud and follow on through the development of object relations, focusing on the ‘British School’, including theorists such as Klein, Winnicott, Bion and others.
By encouraging your critical attitude, we foster an engagement with psychoanalysis - both historically and comparatively - always keeping in mind its methodological link to the clinical experiences from which psychoanalysis itself was developed. Whether you work in the mental health field or have an interest in the application of psychoanalysis to groups, to literature, or to wider social and cultural issues, our programme offers a fantastic and lively opportunity for personal, academic and professional development.
Topics covered in the course include:
- Reading Freud
- Psychoanalytic theory
- Psychoanalysis in contexts
- Psychoanalysis and the Psychosocial
- Psychoanalytic Epistemology
- The Psychic Life of Gender
- Clinical and Critical: Contemporary Debates in Psychoanalytic Theory
