THE EXPERIENCE OF THE CLINICAL INTERVIEW
The laboratory will deal with the topic of psychotherapeutic work with parents and, referring to this theme, the teacher will introduce the theoretical references and propose to students the useful elements for conducting an interview with a parent (mother or father) of a preschool child.

SHORT-TERM PSYCHOTHERAPY
The course aims to provide a preliminary general theoretical framework on the historical origin and developments of short-term dynamic psychotherapy starting from Freud, Ferenczi and Rank. The techniques of Alexander and French and of the "Chicago school", the "emergency psychotherapy" of Bellak and Small and the "anxiety-relieving" and "anxiolytic" psychotherapy of Sifneos will also be studied. Mann's contribution to short-term psychotherapy will also be discussed.
The course will also have a practical and interactive part aimed - through the discussion of clinical protocols and role-play - to focus on the differences between psychoanalysis and short-term dynamic psychotherapy, with specific attention to technical differences.
