Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan, Donald Winnicott, Wilfred Bion & Carl Jung.

These seminars are to introduce 6 major psychoanalytic theorists and are a gentle introduction to psychoanalytic theories. They are for anybody who has an interest in understanding the psychodynamic theories about the mind and the therapies that have evolved from these.  However, they are particularly intended for those in training courses in the helping professions whose courses are often limited in their psychodynamic focus. They would also be helpful to psychiatry trainees for the psychotherapy written case.

The seminars will explore the beginnings of psychodynamic theory with Freud and their further development by Klein.  Then the often dauntingly difficult ideas of Winnicott, Bion and Lacan will be examined.  To complement these the course will finish by embracing the creativity of the ideas of Jung.
