Course Description

This course is given in partnership with the child analysis programs of Columbia and PANY. The aim of the seminar is to acquaint the student with child and adolescent analytic process material and to discuss theoretical and technical issues as they arise in connection with the material that is presented. In this seminar, two ongoing child analytic cases will be presented. It is desirable for the candidate to have at least one ongoing child or adolescent case in a supervised analysis. The 2022-2023 seminar will have a focus on Child Analysis.

Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

  1. assess the suitability for analytic treatment of child patients.
  2. identify the transference aspects of patients’ behavior and communications.
  3. define methods of responding to patients’ transference

Evaluation Method

Each student’s participation in class discussion and his or her demonstration of understanding of the course objectives and reading material is assessed in a written evaluation by the instructor(s).
