In this course we will approach the developmental growth of the child from infancy through latency. We will be focusing on the developmental findings as they relate to our understanding of the intrapsychic experience of the child.
The organizing text for this course is:
Tyson, P. & Tyson, R. (1990). Psychoanalytic theories of development: An integration. New Haven: Yale University Press. In addition to the required Tyson readings, required articles are also listed for each session and will be assigned/chosen during class.
Since this is a professional program, it is expected that the required readings will be completed and candidates will bring at least 2 comments/questions to class to participate in a facilitated discussion of the readings. Please read Tyson chapters 1&2 for our first meeting.
