Program Description Provided by the Institution:

Analytic Psychology Emphasis

This emphasis area is designed to help students examine the relationship between conscious and unconscious mental processes.   Using the work of C.G. Jung as the over-arching theoretical structure, the emphasis also helps students understand clinical situations from psycho-analytic, object-relations and ego psychological perspectives.  While the work of Jung covers the entire range of human life span and emotional and cognitive development, it is understood that other theoretical perspectives have contributed as much, if not more, practical insights into the workings and treatment of emotional and cognitive disorders.  All courses in the emphasis attempt to integrate the various perspectives in psychodynamic psychologies with Jung’s seminal works.

 

To help students begin this difficult process of conceptual integration, students who are enrolled the Analytic Psychology Emphasis will be required to take two pro-seminars in Analytic Psychology.  Each one unit class will make use of a different classic analytic text as a starting point for discussions on the understanding and treatment of clinical cases.  Some of the texts which have been used are: Jung’s The Psychology of the Transference, Jung’s first and second editions of Symbols of Transformation, Freud’s newly retranslated Interpretation of Dreams and Anna Freud’s Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense.   Students enrolled in the emphasis will meet each year to participate in the selection of the texts to be used in these pro-seminars.

 

Students are also required to take the Introduction to Analytic and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy as well as an additional nine units of analytic electives.  Some of the elective courses have been: Introduction to Analytic Psychology, Analytic Dream Interpretation, Psycho-analytic Approaches to Treatment, Object-relations Theory, Ego Psychology, Expressive Techniques in Analytic Psychology and Sand Play Therapy in Analytic Psychology. 

 

Students are also expected to pursue a research topic in the are of Analytic Psychology.  As most of the problem areas in Analytic Psychology which need careful research involve issues of consciousness, students are strongly encouraged to develop research skills using the methods of the Human Sciences which include Phenomenology, Ethnography, Ethnomethodology and Phenomenological Hermeneutics.

 

To help students integrate the theoretical material of the emphasis in a practical way, they will be assigned in the course of their graduate training to field placements where Analytic or other Dynamic approaches are used. 

 

Finally, since much of the process of learning Analytic Psychology derives from exploration of ones’ own personal material, students are required to fulfill the basic psychotherapy requirement with a trained Analytic psychologist or other approved Dynamically trained psychologist

While our Ph.D. program is predominantly cognitive-developmental in focus, internship level students complete two semesters of the above course, which includes a survey of theories and approaches related to child psychotherapy.  We spend several weeks reading about, discussing, and applying psychoanalytic theory, beginning with Freud and moving through ego psychology, self-psychology, and object relations theory and gaining some familiarity with the work of  Jung, Mahler, Klein, Anna Freud, Adler, Sullivan, Horney, and Kohut.  Throughout the year, students are encouraged to think in terms of countertransference, transference, and defenses as one of several ways to conceptualize their work with clients.
