Psychoanalysis for Beginners - Clinical Seminar with Marianne Parsons

Abstract:

Building on the interest generated by the Interdisciplinary seminar series that ran from 2009 to 2012, the Psychoanalysis Unit is now offering a series of monthly seminars where those with no knowledge of clinical psychoanalysis will have the opportunity to discuss what psychoanalysts do in the consulting room when they do psychoanalysis.

Each seminar will have a brief introduction covering use of the couch, frequency of sessions, and working in the transference after which participants will focus on some clinical material and discuss how the material can be understood along with the informing assumptions of the analyst and what the material shows about the psychoanalytic way of working.
