Required Reading: A Clinical Introduction to Freud: Techniques for Everyday Practice (2017). New York and London, Norton. Available on Amazon.
The goals of the course are to learn about Freud's crucial concepts and techniques related to exploring and affecting the unconscious, and then to see how these techniques are relevant to the treatment of patients today. The format of the course assumes that the participants have read Dr. Fink's book. In the first two sessions, there will be a review and discussion of Freud's concepts and techniques as described in A Clinical Introduction to Freud: Techniques for Everyday Practice. In this book, Dr. Fink explores Freud's theories in an engaging and useful way through seeing how Freud works with symptoms, dreams, and structure (Cases of the Rat Man and of Dora); Dr. Fink also describes contemporary problems that clinicians face today. In the second two sessions, the questions that have been formulated in the first two sessions about Freud's theories and techniques related to investigating the unconscious will be discussed with Dr. Fink, in order to understand these concepts and techniques more fully. The ultimate goal of the course is to help clinicians have more tools in their toolboxes with which to impact their patients unconscious and be more effective in helping them change.
Learning Objectives of Session One:
1. Participants will be able to explain how Freud developed his concepts and techniques by exploring his patients symptoms.
2. Participants will be able to discuss how to use Freudian approaches to understand dreams. The reaching of these objectives will be shown through the class discussion.
Learning Objectives of Session Two:
1. Participants will be able to discuss how Freud learned and developed techniques to look at the unconscious, through seeing how Freud worked with the Rat Man and Dora, and to deal with patient's symptoms.
2. Participants will be able to use new techniques to stir the unconscious and see how contemporary issues can cause counter-transferences issues that interfere with investigating the unconscious.
Learning Objectives of Session Three:
I. Participants will be able to discuss how Freud made mistakes with his patients and learned from them, as they ask Dr. Fink about Freud's strengths and weakness as a therapist.
2. Participants will be able to discuss how to work with patients dreams today.
Learning Objectives of Session Four:
1. Participants will be able to discuss how Dr. Fink thinks about therapeutic action and how it changes the patient.
2. Participants will be able to describe how Freud's techniques of exploring the unconscious compare with other theoretical points of view (e.g., Lacanian, Relational, and Self-Psychology). These above objectives will be demonstrated in the lively discussions during the classes.
