COURSE DESCRIPTION

The lectures will focus on the most fundamental psychoanalytic concepts and current theoretical constructs. The lecturers will introduce the basic concepts needed to understand a lecture properly, so applicants with limited immersion in psychoanalytical thought will follow the presentations.

Sándor Ferenczi (1873-1933) occupies an essential place in the curriculum of this course. Ferenczi was Sigmund Freud's brilliant disciple, friend, and colleague, as well as a creative, open-minded, and innovative psychoanalyst. Ferenczi and other Hungarian psychoanalysts played an active role in Budapest's cultural life, and Budapest played a vital role in developing the Budapest School of Psychoanalysis. Ferenczi is well-known for his essential role in integrating psychoanalytic ideas into the culture and having links with literature, arts and social science. The course is open to all who are studying or graduated in human or social sciences, psychology, and anyone interested in psychoanalytic ideas, healing processes, and new perspectives of current philosophical, social, artistic, and cultural aspects of psychoanalysis.
