PY 491 - Advanced Intervention: Interpersonal


Prerequisite(s): PY 462 . This course will further expand the student’s knowledge and analytic skill in psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy as first introduced in the Basic Intervention-Psychodynamic course. This course will focus on interpersonal (or “two person”) perspectives in clinical theory and practice, and explore the interpersonal emphasis on the human relational matrix as constitutive of psychological experience and the therapeutic situation. The course will examine primarily the following conceptual approaches: Interpersonal, Object-Relations, Self Psychology/Intersubjective, Attachment, and Contemporary Relational. The particular therapeutic strategies and models of intervention for treating patients in psychodynamic psychotherapy articulated by these approaches will be examined. Students will be expected to expand the knowledge and rudimentary analytic skills obtained in the Basic Intervention course and gain a more complex and sophisticated ability to conduct psychodynamic oriented psychotherapy informed by interpersonal theory and therapeutic applications.
