How we listen, what we listen for, and how we choose what to speak about are at the core of psychoanalytic practice and engagement with analysands.
In this first course on analytic listening, we will address some of these questions. Students will be encouraged to bring their intuitive understanding and life experience to their listening.
We will investigate some initial consultations and readings about these first meetings and learn how these first encounters can stir ‘’emotional turbulence” in both the analyst and the patient.
Psychoanalysis has a body of knowledge that informs our listening and our speech. In this eight week course, the student will study some of these central psychoanalytic concepts. Students will learn to listen for and recognize different levels of anxieties, to hear evidence of unconscious fantasy in clinical material and in dreams, to discern the difference between symbolic communication and concrete communication and to recognize transference phenomena and their own counter-transference reactions.
The fee for this 8 session course is $350. Deadine for registration is July 15th.
