This post-graduate course, a Clinical Specialization in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, will provide Mental Health professionals (Doctors and Psychologists) with a much needed theoretical and clinical tool, making their practice more complete and competent and granting them the ability to promote true Mental Health, as an alternative to the mere treatment of symptoms. The course encompasses theory and theoretical/practical training, with three major goals: (1) to illustrate the importance of psychotherapeutic work, (2) to provide basic and clinical knowledge on psychodynamic theory and (3) to develop abilities on psychodynamic clinical case formulation and on psychodynamic psychotherapy intervention.
