Psychological Development Across the Life Cycle
Part II: Adolescence through Late Life

Spring 2015
Instructor: Nancy Livingston, MD
Co-Instructor: Rex Moody, MD
Course Description:
There are developmental challenges to be mastered throughout the life cycle from infancy through old age.  This course will utilize a psychoanalytic perspective to explore these intrapsychic and interpersonal developmental tasks and the issues resulting from failure to master them.
This course is given in two parts, Part I in the fall semester and Part II in the spring.  Each semester's course will be 16 sessions.
Part I began with an introduction to the psychoanalytic developmental model, followed by a discussion of defenses and their role in development.  The developmental tasks of the child, from the establishment of psychic structures in infancy to the beginnings of the reorganization of these structures in preadolescence, were addressed.
Part II will build on the developmental issues addressed in Part I to explore the psychological tasks of adolescence through end of life.  The continuum of psychological development throughout the life cycle will be a major focus of this course.  Readings from classic and more recent articles, including different theoretical perspectives, will be assigned.  Relevant clinical material will be presented, and class members will have ample opportunity for discussion.  
This course is appropriate for intermediate through advanced students, as well as clinicians with extensive experience who have permission of the instructor.
