This
course, coordinated by the Department of Psychological Medicine, aims to offer
observational and theoretical studies in which psychoanalytic perceptions are
integrated to foster deeper appreciation of the forces and dynamics operating
within individuals, groups and organisations, and to promote research and
scholarship in these areas. The course is conducted part-time over two
years.
Applicants must hold a degree in a relevant discipline from an approved
tertiary institution. Applicants must also have a minimum of two years of
practice in the field of professional activity related to their graduate field
(not restricted to helping professions), and have continuing opportunity for
such work in a setting that can be used for observation, to be reported and
discussed as part of the coursework.
The course covers a broad range of psychoanalytic concepts and theories and includes the following subjects:
These subjects may lead to further study at the masters level (see Master of Psychoanalytic Studies).
Assessment is focused on field observational work, seminar work, class participation and written assignments, including one longer essay. Assessment is continuous and is based on the student's involvement in the process of observing, learning and interacting within the course group.
