Syllabus
Course Objectives
Divided into a first part centered on Grinberg's explanatory text that provides an overview of the fundamental Bionian concepts and a second on anthological guided readings of texts by various authors, the course aims to accustom the student to develop the ability, on the one hand, to acquire the material through a critical synthesis and, on the other, to know how to move independently in the approach to the original texts. The skills acquired should allow a better knowledge from a psychodynamic point of view of the psychopathology of borderline and psychotic areas and solicit a particular attention to personal evocations in contact with the functioning (one's own and others) of the psychotic part of the mind, contributing, as much as possible in the space of the course, to develop the recognition of the exist-ence of countertransferential dynamics, which can contribute both to a more effective therapeutic work and to a better ethical-deontological directionality. A reference will also be made to the habitual development of the infantile mind and of the possible pathogenic nuclei approached through the Infant Observation method.
Course Prerequisites
The course (in Italian) is aimed at students who have already acquired basic knowledge in the psy-chodynamic field during the three-year period and therefore have taken at least one course that has provided essential knowledge in this sector (e.g.: Dynamic Psychology). This requirement is not binding, but strongly recommended.
Teaching Methods
The lessons, frontal, will take place in person, at the Collegio Ghislieri. Upon request, for particular needs (registrations not synchronous with the start of the course) the possibility of accessing the video recordings of lessons held in previous periods may be provided. LESSONS WILL BEGIN ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE DAYS MONDAY 11-13 TUESDAY 13-15 WEDNESDAY 11-13
Assessment Methods
The exams will take place, after REGISTRATION ONLINE FOR THE EXAMS, at the locations and in the manner indicated from time to time, through an oral interview with questions from the commission on the Grinberg manual and with the invitation to critically comment on the anthological texts, these last ones may be viewed by the student during the exam. A list of recommended readings for further study is added, which will NOT however constitute a subject of examination by the Commission. There are no mandatory skipping of exams or differences between attending and non-attending stu-dents, although attendance is recommended, given the characteristics of the topics covered. It is recommended to carefully check the procedures and deadlines for registration for the exams on the websites.

Contents
Maintaining the approach mainly aimed at highlighting the historical-evolutionary succession of psy-choanalytic metapsychology and clinical theory, the course aims to deepen a post-Freudian path, centered in particular on the understanding of the thought of W.R. Bion (normal development of the mind, its "psychotic" and "non-psychotic" parts, psychopathological organizations) and of some Kleinian authors (Bick, Brenman, Joseph, Ogden, Rosenfeld, Segal, Steiner).
