TCS-Southern California announces a new Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Concentration (PPC) offered by the Westwood Campus Department of Psychology. A one-year (12 unit) curriculum, the concentration is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of psychodynamic clinical treatment. The program will take place over three sessions: fall, spring, and summer. Each course will be 2 units.

The concentration will expose students to a broad base of psychoanalytic theory including Classical, Neo-Classical, Jungian, Object Relations, Self-Psychology, Intersubjectivity, Relational theory, Modern Analysis, and beyond. Applied psychodynamic courses will be offered as well. Students will gain a working knowledge of the varying psychoanalytic principles and techniques used in present day psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Courses will be taught by trained psychoanalysts or by analytically informed psychotherapists with clinical practices. A goal of this program is that students take a concentration that offers additional focused coursework in the area of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
