Hi there everyone, if you are in Sydney, have a first degree and thinking of doing something more, thought you may be interested in this. It looks really interesting.
PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDIES PROGRAM 2005
In 2005 the NSW Institute of Psychiatry (Sydney, Australia) is commencing a three year program in psychoanalytic studies for students with a primary qualification in psychology, medicine, health, social science, philosophy or other relevant discipline. Units may also be taken as stand alone study units.
Purpose:
This program is designed to give those interested in psychoanalytic thinking and practice an overview of psychoanalysis both as a body of knowledge and as a method of investigation. It provides an introduction to the emergence and evolution of a broad-range of psychoanalytic models including contemporary psychoanalytic thinking and clinical techniques. The program critically evaluates the relationships between psychoanalytic thinking and the clinical context as well as other non-clinical disciplines such as philosophy, cultural and literary theories and research methodologies. There is an emphasis on developing students' critical awareness, thinking and analysis of the role of psychoanalysis in contemporary debates around race, gender, sexualities and models of psychopathology. While this program does not equip students to practice as clinicians, this inter-disciplinary course will be of relevance both to clinicians (by assisting them in gaining psychoanalytic insights into their work) and to those interested in psychoanalysis as a field of academic research and cultural debate. It aims to promote lively dialogue concerning debates within psychoanalysis and between psychoanalysis and its neighbouring disciplines.
Core units:
* Core concepts in psychoanalysis

* Philosophy of Psychoanalysis
* The Psychoanalytic Method and Attitude: The Consulting Room
