PSY 7331 Historical Foundations of Depth Psychology
The psychodynamic tradition in Psychology is examined by careful reading of original sources, including Freud’s case histories, lectures and theoretical works (including his "Project" and "Metapsychology Papers"), along with the writings of those who further developed and commented upon his work, such as Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan, Erich Fromm, Erik Erikson and Bruno Bettelheim. Primary sources in psychoanalysis are supplemented with texts such as Henri Ellenberger’s The Discovery of the Unconscious or more sophisticated philosophical treatments of Freud, such as those of Politzer, Merleau-Ponty, Ricoeur, or Lacan.
