Description
This module is organized into a number of discrete seminar series that cover the major influential theorists and schools that have developed since the early days of psychoanalysis. The module has a focus on the British Psychoanalytic Society, but other important traditions, such as the Lacanian and the Modern French schools, are also explored. Throughout the module you will not only become familiar with the major conceptual developments that characterise each approach, but also develop a critical understanding of how these might be related to one another and to general psychoanalytic metapsychology. The content of the module is theoretical in nature, but the majority of lecturers are experienced clinicians so the clinical context very much informs the theory throughout. The module is delivered by programme staff and guest lecturers, and is taught in a combination of lectures and seminars. Individual engagement with the material is essential and you will be expected to prepare for each seminar by reading one or two assigned paper-length texts on the topic. Please note that this is a compulsory module in the MSc Theoretical Psychoanalytic Studies programme and is only open to students in this programme.
