At the end of the training module the student has: a) a thorough knowledge of the main psychodynamic concepts and their historical development, from Freud to contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives; b) the ability to interpret and understand subjective phenomena through the main psychodynamic models; c) the ability to plan psychological interventions in individual, organizational, and social professional contexts, based on a psychodynamic understanding of subjectivity.
The training module consists of classes conducted in a dialogical and experiential way: students will be proposed to actively partecipate through discussions of clinical cases, video material, and excerpts from original writings of the authors, an intersubjective comparison with their own experience of the subjective phenomena examined, and applications of the psychodynamic models and concepts to specific contexts.
Assessment of the objectives achievement is conducted through an oral examination, which provides a final mark (max 30/30 cum laude, pass 18/30). The test is unique for the two modules of which the course is composed and aims to assess understanding of the main psychodynamic concepts, the ability to use them for informed professional positioning and the competence to intervene in professional contexts on the basis of a psychodynamic understanding of subjectivity.
In order to foster an experiential and not only theoretical learning, it is highly recommended to attend lessons, although it is not mandatory and necessary for passing the exam.
Non-Italian-speaking and non-attending students may contact the instructor to discuss activities and strategies to support learning.
