Master's course in Psychoanalysis
The Course
The School of Psychology,
Victoria University, and the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis offer a four-year,
part-time postgraduate program of clinical studies and research in psychoanalysis
at an advanced level. It is aimed at professionals and students in the field
of mental health and those working in disciplines that incorporate psychoanalytic knowledge and methodology
(Philosophy, Women's Studies, Cultural Studies, History, Literature, Sociology,
Anthropology, Education, Social Work and others). It involves the critical study
of psychoanalytic theory and technique in its clinical applications, as well
as the use of psychoanalysis in the social sciences and the arts.
The clinical components of the program focus on practical technical issues, diagnostic questions
and the direction of the treatment. The teaching staff are a team of psychoanalysts
and scholars of psychoanalysis with many years of experience in the postgraduate
courses offered by the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis.
