    OVERVIEW

    A framework of the fundamental concepts of dynamic psychology will be provided starting from Freudian metapsychology. Evolutionary models, theories of motivation, attachment perspective, and infant research will be presented. We will also present some aspects of the psychodynamic clinic from the perspective of intervention in diadic, family and parenting contexts.

    AIMS AND CONTENT

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    Present the stages of emotional-affective development, analysing the main theoretical frameworks of the discipline, their historical development and the models currently most accredited. Identify the links with psychopathological pictures, the concept of normality and the many forms of individual adaptation. Connect theoretical frameworks with taxonomies, individual functioning and a sense of subjective well- being.

    TEACHING METHODS

    The teaching will consist of a combination of traditional lectures with slides and video, as well as presentations and discussion of clinical cases

    Dynamic psychology: the object of study and definition. The Freudian model of the mind, the theoretical presuppositions of the concept of the unconscious. Theory of childhood sexuality: predictive and post-oedipal organization. Neurosis theory and hypotheses about the origin of psychopathology. The relationship between the organization of the internal world and real relations. Notes to the representatives of the British school of object relations; the psychoanalytic psychology of the ego; the psychology of the self and relational models. Attachment theory and multimotional theories. The concept of mentalization and mindfulness: their use in clinical practice. The relationships of dynamic psychology with neuroscience.
