Università Roma Tre

The aim of the course is to introduce the most important theoretical orientations, from Freud to contemporary authors, who have characterized dynamic psychology. The theories that contributed to shift attention from the interpretation of classical psychoanalysis to the relationship of contemporary psychoanalysis, which aims to capture the person's subjective and intersubjective experience of the person, will be studied and compared.
Moreover, recent empirical contributions regarding the link between dynamic psychology and neuroscience will be discussed.
At the end of the course the student will have a knowledge of the basic concepts of dynamic psychology and will be able to use an appropriate scientific lexicon to understand the nuances of meaning of the different theoretical approaches.
