PC 490 - Advanced Intervention: Intrapsychic


Prerequisite(s): PC 462 . This course will cover those psychodynamic models (i.e., Freudian, late Ego Psychology, traditional Object Relations, Self) that focus on intrapsychic dynamics in the conceptualization of psychopathology and the treatment process. Often referred to as “one person theories,” these models typically view the therapist as striving for some version of therapeutic neutrality, anonymity, and objectivity, and define transference as distortion. The class will emphasize contemporary versions of these models of intervention, including the role of culture, race, and gender. (2 credits)
