“He only talked about sex and nobody believes that stuff any more”: An attempt at Freudian consciousness raising in tertiary education
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 October 2015
Abstract
The concepts of Freud's Psychoanalytic Therapy are well-known to professional helpers, and many of his principles and techniques (e.g. the “Freudian slip”, Dream Analysis) are familiar to laypersons. For many reasons, training courses for tertiary counsellors often focus on humanistic, existential or behavioural approaches to counselling, with psychodynamic approaches relegated to the minor league. This paper highlights the attempts to raise the consciousness of postgraduate counselling students to the significance of Freudian concepts in counselling and therapy, through a teaching unit developed by the author. The rationale, objectives, content, process, and student evaluations of the course are discussed.
