In this 10-week course, we will explore classical and contemporary self psychology, the psychoanalytic theory of development and treatment formulated by Heinz Kohut (and elaborated by his followers) as he encountered narcissistically injured patients who didn't respond to the conflict/defense/resistance analysis of classical psychoanalytic treatment.  We will learn from reading and clinical vignettes about self psychology as a patient-centered approach to treatment that begins with a foundational acceptance of the patient as s/he is and the empathic immersion in the patient's psychic world.  We will study the formulation of interventions that are grounded in empathic knowing and the self-object transferences that emerge as our patients search for responsiveness to the unmet developmental needs that left them unable to deal effectively with life's demands, as well as the shift in self psychology from a one-person to a two-person theory.
