精神分析研究文​​学士（荣誉学位）

精神分析是研究和临床实践的跨学科领域，收集了超过100年的理论和临床经验，以构筑其有关思想，情感，社会关系，动机，心理病理学和心理疗法的思想和观念。理解人类经验意味着不仅要看我们如何行动和建立关系，而且至关重要的是还需要看内部事物在表面之下的情况。在本课程中，您将研究影响我们的情感，行为和人际关系并影响我们日常生活的心理因素。要了解这些因素，您将学习心理动力学概念，并将其应用于个人，人际关系和组织，当然，还将学习弗洛伊德，荣格和拉康的开创性著作。
How do we become who we are Is emotion as strong a driver as reason What explains our stranger compulsions and desires Does all behaviour have meaning - even when it appears to be irrationalPsychoanalysis is an interdisciplinary field of studies and clinical practices, gathering over 100 years of theorization and clinical experience in framing its ideas and concepts about the mind, emotions, social relations, motivation, psychopathology and psychotherapy.Understanding human experience means looking not only at how we act and relate, but crucially also requires looking inside at what is going on below the surface. In this course you look at the psychological factors that influence our emotions, behaviours and relationships and shape our everyday lives. To understand these factors you will learn psychodynamic concepts, applying them to individuals, relationships and organisations and of course, you will study the pioneering works of Freud, Jung and Lacan.Here are some of the questions we might cover. Why do we fall in love with certain kinds of people but struggle to relate to others Why do we get stuck, or lose direction in life What explains our stranger compulsions and desires Why are some people prone to psychological illness while others seem to thrive in adversityTopics include:Psychoanalytic and psychosocial approachesChild, adolescent and adult developmentTrauma and recovery: A psychodynamic approachUnderstanding individuals, groups and organisationsPopular Film, Literature and Television: A Psychoanalytic Approach (Freud and Jung)Freud: Mind, Culture and SocietyWhere the Wild Things Are: Literature, Childhood, PsychoanalysisCurrent debates in depth psychologyPsychoanalysis and the childOur Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies is internationally recognised as one of the leading departments for work on the role of the unconscious mind in mental health, as well as in culture and society more generally.Study abroadYour education extends beyond the university campus.
