The Analytic Attitude, Part I
Course Description:
This 16 session course is the first in a series of courses aimed at helping the psychoanalytic therapist conceptualize an intense therapeutic relationship that is at the core of the psychoanalytic process. As a process aimed at freeing the patient’s inner life, psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are distinguished by the principle that has been termed the analytic attitude. It is this principle that differentiates psychoanalytic treatments from those therapies in which the focus is generally limited to symptom relief and behavioral change.
In Analytic Attitude I, class readings and discussion will explore the conditions under which the therapist and patient encounter each other with their own needs and expectations, some of which naturally foster an exploratory process and some of which tend to work against the goals of treatment. Attention to the practical considerations required for facilitating a holding environment; the patient’s strengths, limitations, and needs for attachment, safety, and mastery; and the therapist’s own needs and capacities will organize the semester. An analytic attitude of non-intrusive curiosity and non-judgmental acceptance will be balanced against the need to develop techniques such as the use of transference, the promotion of free association, and the importance of interpreting unconscious fantasy.
This course is intended for clinicians at beginning through intermediate levels.
Prerequisite: Students will need a basic exposure to and understanding of psychoanalytic theory and its application to the treatment of patients. Applicants can meet this requirement through previous coursework, training, or supervision (e.g., Thinking Psychoanalytically: The Basics; the PPSC Introductory Course; psychoanalytic coursework or supervision in graduate school/residency or post-graduation). Applicants who don’t meet this requirement can register for the course with permission of the instructors.
