COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course builds on the foundational ideas presented in Psychopathology I. It aims to familiarize candidates with the Second Edition of Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2) while increasing their understanding of the differences between the nosology of the PDM-2 and that of the DSM-5-TR. This course will examine the phenomenology of major diagnostic categories while analyzing the psychoanalytic literature and its conception of different pathologies. Candidates will be able to recognize and assess clinical states, evaluate the difference between repression and dissociation and analyze how certain pathologies impact the clinical process.
