Initiation into Psychoanalysis

COURSE TITLE: INITIATION INTO PSYCHOANALYSIS
Module 3: Psychoanalytic Meyhods
for the Exploration of the Unconscious

This is module 3 of our Initiation into Psychoanalysis email course. It deals with the specific methods of investigation of the unconscious developed by the Freudian psychoanalytic research. It provides hints about self-analysis too.

If you intend to apply all you learned in in the first 2 levels, then you must take this module too in order to study in-depth the psychoanalytic methods of exploring the unconscious mind. You will be able to use them with your own dreams, faulty acts and symbols.

The choice of free association as a means of investigating the forgotten unconscious material seems so strange that a word in justification of it will not be out of place. Freud was led to it by an expectation that the so-called 'free' association would prove in fact to be unfree, since, when all conscious intellectual purposes had been suppressed, the ideas that emerged would be seen to be determined by the unconscious material. This expectation was justified by experience. Sigmund FREUD
