    Why Metapsychology? 

    7-9pm (CST): ZOOM


    About the presentation: Freud's metapsychology is often considered outdated, misguided, and unscientific.  The lecture will situate the development of metapsychology in the context of all Freud's thinking about unconscious processes, and will try to show why it is a living theory.

    Alan Bass, PhD is a psychoanalyst practicing in New York City, where he is a training analyst and faculty member of IPTAR (the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research).  He is also a member of the Contemporary Freudian Society, and is on the graduate philosophy faculty of the New School for Social Research.  He is the author of three books (Difference and Disavowal: The Trauma of Eros; Interpretation and Difference: The Strangeness of Care; and Fetishism, Psychoanalysis, and Philosophy) and the translator of four books by Jacques Derrida.

    Learning Objectives

    Following this presentation, participants will be able to:

    1. Understand the necessity of metapsychology.
    2. Understand the overall principles of Freud's metapsychology.

    Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
    Certificate Program
     


    The CCP Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program provides a course of study in psychoanalytic theory and therapy for interested individuals – both clinicians and theorists – who would like to deepen their knowledge of the field.

    Directed by Adina Bayuk Keesom, PsyD, the program has two tracks,  a clinical track and an academic track for those who wish to strengthen their backgrounds in psychoanalytic theory but who are not practicing clinicians. Students in the academic track will follow the same program as students in the clinical track, although their focus will be determined through discussion with their individual consultants.

    For a detailed description of the Two-Year Certificate Program, and the additional offerings of a Third Year Bridge Certificate Program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, please read the details on the PPCP page.
