Foundation Course Year 1: Theorectical Models
This 1-year, three-term
course is offered as an educational experience for anyone interested in
psychoanalysis and in the process of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. It can be taken as a
stand-alone introductory year, or as a prelude to the comprehensive 2-year
programme. The content includes, and focuses upon, the background and evolution
of psychoanalytic theory and practice, and the key figures and concepts that
have shaped that evolution, alongside a weekly Experiential Group.
Foundation Year 1 takes
place on Wednesday evenings, over 3 terms (1 Module per term) from
October through July. There are 10 seminars + 10 experiential groups per term.
Foundation Course Year 2: Clinical Applications
The second year of the 2-year
foundation programme follows on from the Introductory year, but may also be
available as a direct-entry course for students who already have an equivalent
appropriate background in the subject. In this year, the emphasis is on the
relationship, and mutual influence, between psychoanalytic theory and practice,
with substantial weight placed on the development of clinical processes and
familiarisation with psychopathology. Consideration is also given to both
competing and complementary approaches with regard to contemporary
psychological understanding and treatments.
