Models of the Mind (MoM)
An introduction to psychoanalytic thinking
Models of the Mind is a 20-week course that explores different models of how the mind
develops and functions as viewed by some key psychoanalytic thinkers. Beginning with
Freud and ending with a brief look at some contemporary thinkers, each seminar will
explore aspects of how a particular psychoanalyst conceived of the human psyche.
The method will be a guided discussion each week with selected readings by psychoanalytic
thinkers. Each session will be facilitated by psychoanalysts who are members of the
Melbourne Institute for Psychoanalysis.
This course is not a comprehensive theoretical instruction or clinical training in
psychoanalysis. It is an opportunity to explore some of the concepts and ideas of some key
psychoanalytic thinkers and in particular their ‘model of the mind’.
