Psychoanalysis

Elessar · 2006-10-15 12:19:12

Does anyone know how one would go about getting a psychoanalysis? Which type of practitioner will give one? Psychiatrist? Psychologist? I have a specific line of thinking/feeling and would like to know why I am thinking/feeling this way.

what of the other colleges UCD, DCU -- would anyone have info on their courses?

there is a course in St PAtricks College, Drumcondra called human development as part of their arts programme. Through out the three years there have been references to psycholanalysis. However inthird year there is a specific course dedicated to psychotherapy. It covers pyschanalysis, cbt and rogers humanistic approach is as much detail as time constraints allow while briefly touching on others like gestalt and psychodynamic. This course was very extensive and looking at the different methods side by side enabled easier comparison and evaluation of each method. As well as the course content the extra reading required for exam purposes was very extensive and varied.
I feel you are being very hard on pychoanalysis. It has a valuable role to play and while would not be my prefered approach it can be, in the right circumstances, very effective.
