Developmental Crises, Part 3 Adolescence (306)
Instructor: David Smith, MD

Description:  There are developmental challenges to be mastered throughout the life cycle. This course, the third in a series of four, will focus on adolescence, on the period that, roughly speaking, falls between 12 and 20 years of age. We will utilize a psychoanalytic perspective to explore the intrapsychic and interpersonal developmental tasks common to this period and the issues that result from failure to master them.

We will consider differing theoretical perspectives using readings from classic and more recent articles. Relevant clinical material will be presented, and there will be ample opportunity for discussion.

Target Audience: This course is appropriate for intermediate through advanced students, as well as clinicians with extensive experience who are considering child analytic training and have the permission of the instructor.

 Format: This class will combine lecture and seminar formats; student participation is encouraged. All the PCC courses are small group discussions that require participants to read and synthesize the materials presented.  PCC faculty ensure that gaps in knowledge are addressed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Class participants will be able to:

 

  • Conceptualize the ways in which psychological development proceeds throughout adolescence.
  • Apply relevant concepts of drive theory, ego psychology, object relations, attachment theory, and self-psychology to more comprehensively explore the developmental process.
  • Apply relevant information from fields related to psychoanalysis (e.g., developmental psychology, social psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, biology, literature) that further illuminate the developmental crises encountered in these periods.
  • Identify the significant developmental tasks of adolescence.
  • Utilize clinical material to illustrate developmental concepts, including material from their own experiences.
  • Describe and discuss ways in which the use of technology affects the developmental tasks of adolescence.Describe and discuss ways in which cultural attitudes toward psychopharmacology affect psychoanalytic work with adolescents.
  • Explore the ways in which gender identity and object choice develop during adolescence and how social changes, e.g. more acceptance of gender and object choice fluidity affect this.
