Course Description: This course is an introduction to the diagnostic method set fo rth in Nancy McWilliams’s textbook, Psychoanalytic Diagnosis: Underst anding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process. This is a practical a nd flexible approach to diagnosing in a clinical setting.
Ove r the past two years, I have been consulting weekly by telephone with Dr. M cWilliams. I have discussed several of my long-term cases with her and am e xcited to share some of her insights about using diagnostic formulation in your psychoanalytic work.
The aim of this course is to provid e an introduction to this diagnostic approach. In the first class, we will discuss developmental levels of personality organization as they fall on t he Neurotic – Borderline - Psychotic spectrum. I will provide a case example on the psychotic spectrum and look forward to hearing about any of your cases that come to mind as you read the first assigned chapters or du ring class.
The other three classes will be an in-depth exami nation of three distinct types of character organization: hysterical (histr ionic), schizoid, and masochistic (self-defeating). We will explore common defenses and adaptive process employed, therapeutic implications of the di agnosis, relational patterns, and potential transference and counter-transf erence responses in patient and therapist.
The course emphasizes practical application of this diagnostic method and students will be encouraged to present case material relevant to the content being discussed.
