Credits: 1.5 CE

The Center for Integrative Counseling & Psychology

Beginning with Freud’s early conceptions of the Primal Horde, psychoanalytic theories of individual, group, and mass are considered with clinical ends in mind. Reviewing the cultural backdrop against which the many psychoanalytic therapies have unfolded, this training zooms in on some of the clinical turning points, controversies, and personalities shaping theory of illnesses and their interpersonal/cultural contexts. Specifically psychoanalytic ways of conceiving of, and intervening on, social pathologies are highlighted, as are the socio-political implications of psychoanalytic interventions.
Learning Objectives:
Summarize the sociological impacts of integrative clinical models, the traditions of Fromm, Horney, and now Orange and others.
Articulate and integrate the history of psychoanalytic conceptions of those relationships between individual, group, and the masses into daily clinical practice.
Implement pluralist models of integrative theory and clinical technique that are both individually and socially aware
Contextualize historical efforts to maintain technical unity even in the face of heated dispute and conflicting literatures.
