Dr. Kaveh Zamanian

KPI is pleased to announce that Dr. Kaveh Zamanian will teach Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Diagnosis in the summer session.  As an introduction to this course, KPI will offer this open presentation on July 7 free of charge to the public. 

The course will begin with a review and examination of the most recent literature on efficacy of psychodynamic treatment.  We will then examine the fundamental concepts related to psychodynamic/psychoanalytic diagnosis.  Specifically we will discuss proper assessment of psychodynamics and explore and examine major diagnostic categories. Throughout the course, case examples will be considered in an effort to sharpen diagnostic sensibility and improve understanding of clinical context and process.  Finally, clinical process will be examined with an emphasis on transference-countertransference dynamics related to various personality or character styles.

The 10 classes will be given on Tuesdays, 11:00 AM til 12:30 PM, starting on July 13.  Those wishing to attend the class will be required to register and pay fees and tuition by the first class on Tuesday, July 14.
