Psychoanalytic Models of the Mind, Part II:
Object Relations, Attachment, Self Psychology, & Relational Approaches
Spring 2012
Please Note:
Students may register for Part II of Psychoanalytic Models of the Mind even if they have not taken Part I. (See prerequisite below.)
Instructors: Heather Craige, MSW & Elissa Baldwin, PhD, LCSW
Course Description:
Parts I and II of Models of the Mind provide an introduction to major lines and phases in the development of psychoanalytic theory and practice from their beginnings in the latter part of the 19th century to the present.
Part II, taught in 16 sessions, begins with a look at the development of British and American Object Relations theories, moves through an overview of Self Psychology and Attachment Theory, and concludes with a study of contemporary themes developed within the Relational/Interpersonal schools of psychoanalysis.
Class discussion and reading will cover:
British Independent and American Object Relations Models, including contributions from Winnicott (holding environment, “good enough” mothering, transitional space, true/false self), Fairbairn (internal saboteur, ties to the “bad” object, trauma bonding), Mahler (separation-individuation), and others.
Kohut’s Self Psychological Model (the role of empathy, transmuting internalization, and optimal frustration; function of self-objects, mirroring, idealization, and twinship in the formation of a cohesive self).
Basic concepts of Attachment Theory (secure vs. insecure forms of attachment, as well as the neurobiology of attachment), including contributions of Bowlby and Schore.
The Relational/Intersubjective schools (concepts of the analytic “third,” countertransference, enactment, self-disclosure), including contributions of Hoffman, Greenberg, Ogden, Benjamin, Mitchell, Aron and Davies.
Case vignettes contributed by faculty and students will enliven the discussion and illustrate the clinical application of each model.
Class will be limited to 10 students and is intended for clinicians at intermediate through advanced levels.
