PST (0505) 913 - Klein And Development of Object Relations Theory

Credits: 2.00

Klein and Fairbairn depart form Freudian drive theory as they move uniquely and richly towards a “relational model”. The course focuses on unconscious fantasy and symbolization, the process of internalization, psychic structure, aggression, love, paranoid-schizoid and depressive dynamics, and their ensuing vicissitudes on our ever-evolving understanding of psychopathology and psychoanalysis.
