ELECTIVE at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research

Monday 11AM-12:45PM, 8 sessions

This course is an introduction to the early psychic development and its impact on adult psychic life: how the baby develops a sense of self through the quality of the interactions with the environment. It is a preverbal stage of development that requires a specific kind of observation. This capacity for observation and empathy will be discussed as a tool for the psychoanalyst observing the patient and containing primitive anxieties
