This course develops a theoretical and clinical reflection on the therapeutical framework adapted to the analytical and psychodynamical approaches, on the importance of the framework and its symbolical aspects.
The psychological problems of the adults will be viewed in relation to the diagnosis about structures and the pathologies of narcissism: nevrotic structures, border line structures, psychotic structures, narcistic problems and perversions. The course will focus in particular on border line situations and narcistic situations, as they are more frequent nowadays.
The course will review classical psychiatry, Freudian metapsychology and post-Freudian theory by authors like Melanie Klein, Daniel Winnicott, René Roussillon, André Green, Otto Kernberg... It will use various texts, stories and vignettes.
The specificity of the transfer and counter-transfer processes will also be studied thoughout the course.
