Defenses and Unconscious Fantasy
Instructor: Nancy Warren, PhD  

Description:     This course will focus on refining an understanding of the concepts related to unconscious fantasy and defense mechanisms, with an emphasis on practical applications through the discussion of clinical material from readings and as presented by class participants.  We will read the work of clinicians representing a variety of modern psychoanalytic schools.  Students will be encouraged to consider how they might apply these concepts in their own clinical work. 

 

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.

 

Target Audience: This course is appropriate for intermediate to advanced students, as well as experienced clinicians who have the permission of the instructor.

 

About the Instructor:

Nancy Warren, PhD received her PhD in 1978 from St. Louis University.  She served on the faculty of UNC from 1978-1989 and moved to Houston, Texas in 1989.   While in Houston, she was on the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine, leaving there to establish a private practice in 1996. She attended the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies in Houston and graduated in 2006. In 2011, she returned to the east coast, moving to Charleston, South Carolina. She moved back into the academic arena with a position at the Medical University of South Carolina in the Department of Psychiatry.   She recently transitioned from the Medical University into a small virtual private practice, although she is still involved in teaching and supervision of residents.  Her special interests within psychoanalysis are attachment theory, mentalization, and couple and family therapy.
