Object Relations Technique Spring Quarter, Second Year, 2007 Instructor: Jeanne Bailey, M. D. 11:30-12:45 In this course we will be augmenting the previous courses on Klein and Object Relations in the Theory Track. Looking at the writings of British and American psychoanalysts as they apply and modify ideas about the relationship between intrapsychic drives and external objects as they form internal representations. We will consider how the emphasis placed upon intrapsychic or environmental factors effects technical work in the consulting room. In particular we shall consider the role of the environment in determining the shape of internal objects and the analysand's ability to make use of the analyst through concepts like projective identification, countertransference usage, object usage, and symbolization. We will consider the contrasts between Winnicott, Klein and Kohut's ideas. Modern Klein , Self Psychology and Relational Theory and Technique will be explored further in the Third year. Several papers are taken from several books and the books are listed below. The * marks those papers available on PEP CD-ROM. I look forward to our discussions on these topics.
