This course will focus on clinical case material in order to clarify the techniques of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.  We will emphasize the development of an analytic attitude towards the work in psychotherapy and explore how to develop greater intensity within a psychotherapy case.
Readings will focus on developing an understanding of the Relational School of Psychoanalysis and the nuances of that approach to one's therapeutic technique.
