Course Description

Overview

This first part focuses on Freudian metapsychology and introduces the foundational aspects of psychoanalytic theory, essential for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of psychoanalysis from its origins to contemporary dynamic theories.


The training explores four major approaches to understanding the psychic apparatus:


  •  The Economical Approach

    Examines psychic forces involved in desire, inhibition, and psychic energy. Topics include drives, instincts, and the principles governing the psychic apparatus.

  • The Dynamic Approach

    Focuses on unconscious conflict, anxiety, distress, and defense mechanisms.

  •  The Structural Approach

    Studies the organization of the psychic apparatus through the models of:

    * Unconscious / Preconscious / Conscious

    * Id / Ego / Superego

  • The Developmental Approach

    Explores psychoanalytic theories of child development and identity formation through different developmental stages.


The training combines theoretical foundations with interactive learning methods and clinical reflection.
