Material will include a presentation of the psychoanalytic model of the mind, the model of development, and the model of technique. The second half of the seminar will consist of the presentation of analytic case material. Didactic and case material will be presented by analysts from our faculty, Anne Erreich Ph.D., and Malini Singh, Ph.D.
