Course description
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is based on the premise that human problems and behavior express the unconscious forces and internal conflicts.
Training in psychodynamic psychotherapy requires a commitment to deepening knowledge through reading and reflection; the ability to approach complex material with an independent mind; the willingness to seek necessary resources; and the dedication to fulfill program responsibilities with professionalism.
The seminars combine lectures and discussions, based on assigned readings; the seminars are organized in four modules, which can be taken as whole (fall and winter session) or by module (see dates).
