Course details

From the course, you will first learn about psychotherapy and the differences between this and similar practices. You will explore the common elements of psychotherapy and the various ways it can help clients in either one-to-one, couples or group therapy settings and how the clients themselves can get the most from their sessions. You will also learn what the most common forms of psychotherapy are and the differences between their approaches.

The course focusses on psychoanalysis - a method of psychotherapy that places significant emphasis on the contents of the unconscious mind. You will discover what psychoanalysis is and how the practice is used to help clients solve their psychological and emotional problems.

As the founding father of psychoanalysis, it is important to understand the work of Sigmund Freud. From the Psychoanalysis Diploma Course, you learn about his life, beliefs, popular and lesser-known theories, and the legacy he has left in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.

The course explains Freud's theory of Psychosexual Development and the five stages of life that everyone goes through, from birth to becoming a young adult, and how others are opposed to this idea. You will also learn about Attachment Theory and how this affects child and adult relationships.

Although psychoanalysis may have begun with Sigmund Freud, it certainly didn't end with him. This course looks at the people who came after him and the ways in which they have added to his theories on personality and development with their own concepts.

As with most types of therapy and counselling, psychoanalysis has its fair share of naysayers. The course takes a candid view of modern criticisms and to what extent these points may be considered valid, as well as offering counter arguments. You will also learn about the importance of self-reflection within the role of a Psychoanalyst.

Additionally, the course looks at evidence to explain whether psychoanalysis works, the tests used in research studies, and the use of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method research to describe the success of the therapy.

While psychoanalysis is used to treat a variety of conditions, the course explains its use in treating the two most common mental health problems - anxiety and depression. The course looks at the common psychoanalytic explanations for these conditions and how they can be treated using psychoanalysis.

In addition to learning about the practice itself, you will also learn about psychoanalysis as a career option. You will learn what personal qualities You will need to succeed and the challenges that can arise during psychoanalytic training. The course also outlines a typical training route that you could take and the career paths open to qualified psychoanalysts.
