** DISTANCE PARTICIPATION ONLY – This course will be conducted online.
Many training programs focus on teaching numerous theories of psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Unfortunately, most people find that this is insufficient for practising psychotherapy. In this course you will have a chance to discuss the practical approaches/techniques and the challenging hurdles when practising psychodynamic psychotherapy.
We will be using the work of Fred Busch PhD., from his book ‘Creating a Psychoanalytic Mind: A psychoanalytic method and theory‘. (Routledge Publishers, 2014). He developed it for psychoanalysis, but it fits psychodynamic psychotherapy very well.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Practise psychodynamic psychotherapy with a new orientation directed towards the pre-conscious.
Understand the contrast and significance between mainstream psychotherapy techniques and those proposed by Fred Busch.
Become familiar with counter-transference from this point of view, its provocation, and ways of handling.
Understand the differences between the content and the form of patients’ productions and how to respond to each.
