These skills will be stimulated by the teacher by proposing clinical and theoretical insights.

Course unit content

The psychological competence is a multifaceted construct. The psychological intervention presents in fact afferent levels of processes: interpersonal, interpersonal, social, cultural and institutional. The psychological competence can than be represented as a prismatic image whose different sides are interconnected: the technical and the relational competences, the attention to the context, the self-reflexivity and the social responsibility. In this sense, the different elements that are at the base of a psychological intervention (the setting in its different forms, the unfolding of the clinical dialogue, the analysis of the clients' claim, the client-psychologist relationship) will be declined with respect to the development and the implementation of these different and interrelated levels of competence. In order to account for the complexity of a psychological intervention, the course will focus on the presentation of the fundamental concepts of clinical-dynamic psychological intervention (transference / countertransference, interpretation, defense mechanisms, etc.) by contextualizing them in particular clinical situations.
