Course content

Psychoanalysis and Culture
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> To present the Freudian view on the role of culture in the constitution of the psyche, emphasizing the conflict between desire and repression, the effects of culture on the formation of the superego, and the emergence of neurotic symptoms as a return of the repressed, as well as exploring sublimation as a possible route for managing this conflict.</p>

Psychoanalysis and Culture

Psychoanalysis and Gender – Revisions of Freudian Theory in the Light of Questions of Gender and Sexual Identity.
<p>Objective: To analyze the impact of questions of gender and sexual identity on psychoanalytic clinical practice, highlighting how Freud’s concepts of infantile sexuality, identification, and superego can be used to understand psychic conflicts related to the construction of gender identity and to cultural demands regarding sexual and social roles.</p>

Psychoanalysis and Psychosomatics – The Relationship between Body and Psyche (Franz Alexander and Georg Groddeck).
<p>Explore the relationship between body and psyche in psychoanalysis, highlighting how psychosomatic symptoms can be understood as effects of drive repression and the formation of a rigid superego, while also analyzing the contributions of psychoanalytic authors regarding the role of the body in the expression of unconscious conflicts.</p>

Neurotic Intensifications – Understanding Neurotic Symptoms from Lived Hostility and the Anxiety Resulting Therefrom.
Comprehend neurotic symptoms as psychic intensifications resulting from lived hostility and the consequent anxiety, exploring the functioning of defense mechanisms and the role of the superego in the formation of neurotic symptoms, based on classical Freudian theory

Transference and resistance in contemporary clinical practice — How the forms of resistance and elaboration present themselves in clinical practice.
<p>Analyze how transference and resistance function in psychoanalytic clinical practice, highlighting how these mechanisms emerge in the analytic relationship and how the management of resistance enables the elaboration of unconscious psychic conflict, based on classic Freudian concepts.</p>

Ethics in Psychoanalysis – The Role of the Analyst, Listening, and Limits in Transference.
Discutir os princípios éticos fundamentais na prática psicanalítica freudiana, destacando o papel do analista como um receptor neutro e sem julgamento moral, o compromisso com a confidencialidade absoluta e os limites éticos na transferência, com base na ideia de que o setting analítico é um espaço de amoralidade e livre associação.

Clinical Supervision and Analytical Practice — Discussion of Clinical Cases from a Freudian Perspective, Considering the Management of Transference and Resistance.
Present the role of clinical supervision and analytic practice in psychoanalytic training, highlighting the importance of discussing clinical cases from a Freudian perspective, with attention to the management of transference and resistance and to the construction of analytic listening grounded in neutrality, amorality, and interpretation of unconscious contents.
