Integrating Psychoanalytic Thinking into  Psychology

Overview

The Integrating Psychoanalytic Thinking into Psychology course is an online programme, running over three terms, to deepen the theoretical understanding and practice of psychoanalysis/psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as relevant to clinical and counselling psychology.

Module 3 covers a series of advanced topics, offering an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the therapeutic process. In discussing clinical material, continuous attention will be paid to issues of difference, including race, gender, sexuality, class, and culture.

The course can be attended in two modalities:

1. An online programme that includes weekly live lectures
2. A facilitated, self-study, online programme that includes both live and pre-recorded lectures.

Module Programme – Live

Each week, you’ll take part in a live lecture led by Dr Tanya Lecchi, accompanied by a selection of recommended readings to deepen your understanding. For those interested in a more collaborative learning experience, the facilitators will organise small study groups that can meet between sessions. Participation in these groups is optional.

• Week 5 – Endings
