Learning purpose

The Psychoanalysis Masters at Middlesex in London is a broad-based yet in-depth course, for anyone with a clinical or academic interest in psychoanalysis. It covers the history and development of major psychoanalytic traditions and is also highly relevant to contemporary social, political and cultural debates.

During the course you will examine the unconscious mind in everyday life and in relation to mental illness and human suffering. You will expand your critical and analytical skills in a productive atmosphere, enhanced by high-level group and individual tutorials.

Based at our Hendon campus you will benefit from our excellent student facilities, and be taught by academics and clinicians who are actively pursuing innovative research in the field.

 

Programme

The course promotes a wide-ranging consideration of the nature of psychoanalysis. In addition to studying the major figures of the psychoanalytic movement - Freud, Lacan and Klein - we will be considering the work of the second and third generations of psychoanalysts in terms of their clinical practice and contributions to the development of analytical theory. A key feature of the programme is a seminar on clinical methodologies, where practitioners from different schools of psychoanalysis present and discuss their clinical work and where we will have a chance to examine in depth the key cases histories of psychoanalysis ( such as Freud's 'Dora' and 'the Wolf Man'; Klein's 'Richard') as they continue to raise relevant questions for contemprary practice. We provide a theoretical background through presentations on the history of psychoanalysis and an examination of the key theoretical and clinical concepts in the analytical field, from a number of different perspectives. In a further module we look specifically at the role that psychoanalysis plays in the social and cultural sphere, how it contributes, for example, to an understanding of race, sexuality, globalisation, violence.

This programme is based at our flagship Hendon campus.

 

The course is taught on Tuesdays (afternoon and evening) and is offered on a full time basis over one year, or part time over two.

Assesssment is formative and summative and is by coursework. Students write essays, present their work in seminars, and participate in a student-led workshop.

 

The dissertation in particular allows for the development of research skills and the capacity to pursue self-directed work in areas of students' particular interests.
