A series of monthly and weekly seminars introduce basic concepts of Object Relations Theory and Therapy
focusing on the contributions of Bion, Fairbairn, Klein and Winnicott, and
as well as the more recent contributions of Bollas, Mitchell, Ogden,
Scharff and Scharff. Readings cover early mother-infant relationships and
self development; group dynamics; family and couple therapy; the concepts
of projective and introjective identification and the intrapsychic
positions; transference and countertransference. The program involves a
combination of lectures, readings, video, clinical case presentation and
integrative small group discussion. The schedule of these programs will be
arranged locally for the mutual convenience of faculty and students and
the curriculum may be modified to reflect local interests.
