Teaching Psychoanalytic Theory: What do Students Want to Learn and How do they Want to Learn it? - Stephanie Kors, PhD (Live)
GRAND ROUNDS
Graduate school is a time when students are beginning to form their professional identities and beliefs about both what treatments are effective and which theoretical orientations best match their professional identity. As a result, this can be the best possible opportunity to combat biases against psychoanalytic approaches in the next generation of clinicians. This presentation will discuss challenges to teaching psychoanalytic theory to graduate students today and potential techniques for overcoming these challenges. Findings from a recent study examining student perceptions towards learning psychoanalytic theory will highlight the need for developmentally appropriate, culturally-relevant, and empirically-based course content. Teaching methods which aim to make psychoanalytic theory accessible and engaging for graduate students will be discussed as well.
