Course Objectives
The course aims to provide knowledge about the history of psychoanalysis and the main psychodynamic models of the development of human mind.

The historical excursus will provide an understanding of the main theories related to the development of the mind in the normative and psychopathological sense and of the functioning in the life cycle.
In addition, the contemporary debate between the classical psychodynamic model and the relational approach will be explored.
