This course will provide a psychodynamic and developmental framework for the evaluation and provision of treatment interventions to the pre-school aged child. The course format will involve readings, lectures, discussions, and case examples. The course will focus on normal, age appropriate developmental capabilities of the pre-oedipal child. Students will learn to structure a psychodynamic interview so that a sound diagnostic assessment can be made using a developmental psychopathology model which will guide the therapeutic process. Common problems of pre-school aged children will be addressed when the pre-oedipal phase is not adequately negotiated. Various therapeutic strategies will be highlighted.

This course will address therapeutic work with parents/caretakers whose children are in therapy with you. The course is psychodynamic and developmental in orientation. Students will learn to make a dynamic diagnosis and formulation of the child’s development while simultaneously developing the skills to assess the parent’s functioning in relation to the child’s psychopathology. Taking into account the diagnostic assessment of parent and child, the child psychotherapist will learn to understand, educate, structure, limit, explain, interpret and support the parent so that their child’s growth and development can proceed.
