Psychoanalysis offers a unique, in depth understanding of the

human mind, both individually and more broadly seen, socio

culturally. Classical psychoanalysis, using the couch, psycho-

analytic psychotherapy and other therapies, derived from

psychoanalysis, are used by those suffering psychic pain and

mental disorders.

Psychoanalysis has, since its earliest development from the

last century to the present day, sometimes been seen as both

a revolutionary and controversial science. Psychoanalysis is no

longer as visible in universities as it had been in the past.

Psychoanalysts in Europe are attempting to redress this and

much is done in order to clarify, elaborate and enable a

greater understanding of psychoanalysis, as well demonstrat-

ing its crucial value.

This course provides an introduction to present day psychoa-

nalysis for (university) students studying medicine, psycholo-

gy, languages and cultural sciences as well as any other inter-

ested students. The course will offer different psychoanalytic

perspectives regarding subjects such as: clinical and theoreti-

cal work, research and film. The teaching will be given by

international and well known teachers.

The course begins with a presentation about the different

settings that psychoanalysts may use. This will be followed by

considering a classical, central issue: Dreams, famously de-

scribed by Freud as “the royal road to the unconscious”.

There will be film presentation about psychoanalysis and art.

There are clinical contributions, for example on eating disor-

ders, as well as issues which maybe more familiar, such as the

scientific standing of psychoanalytic work and treatment.

Finally there is a contribution that considers whether there

may be a link between psychoanalysis and neuroscience.
