This course will focus on the evolution of psychoanalytic technique from early days to the beginnings of Modern Analysis. Particular attention placed upon the following key issues:

The basic ‘set up’ and ground rules for effective psychoanalytic treatment
Approaches to dealing with transference, countertransference and resistance
The uses of interpretive, educative and interactional techniques in psychotherapy
Attempts to broaden the range of human problems for which psychoanalysis can offer effective help; and the ways these attempts influenced psychoanalytic technique.
