DPS: The Unconscious

Catalog description

This course focuses on the normative opacity and complexity of human consciousness, exploring it from a variety of perspectives and foregrounding a comparison among Freudian, Relational, Bionian, and post-Bionian modes. Psychoanalytic theories that configure the mind/psyche/soul/interpersonal relationships are set in relation to clinical phenomena.
