Psychoanalysis, Neuroscience, and Philosophy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have developed from psychoanalytic theory and principles. This 8 session course bridges Neuroscience and Psychoanalytic Theory, disciplines that historically were seen as very separate approaches to understanding the mind. We will introduce the basics of neuroscience and then move onto issues of how the mind and body relate, including the philosophical mind-body problem.
We will explore consciousness and the unconscious; emotion and motivation; memory and phantasy; dreams and hallucination; genetic and environmental influences; language and things involving the left and right hemispheres; as well as "the self" in terms of the Neurobiology of the talking cure.
This course will involve a close reading of Solms and Turnbull's
The Brain and the Inner World: An Introduction to the Neuroscience of Subjective Experience.
Class will be limited to 10 students. The course is appropriate for clinicians at intermediate through advanced levels and academics with a background in the course material.
