Specific aims Students will acquire the ability to discern the different interpretative levels that they can use in different contexts. Knowledge and understanding Students at the end of the course will be able to differentiate the specific theories and techniques of clinical interpretation. Basic knowledge of the methodological psychodynamic criteria at the basis of the analysis of the instituting stage of intervention Applying knowledge and understanding Students will be able to know the different techniques concerning interpretation and critically evaluate their use in relation to different contexts Basic competence to understand the configuration of the other (user)’s desire Making judgements Students will be able to establish clinical psychological settings within different contexts Basic competence to understand and regulate the way in which the other (the user)’s desire inter-acts with the observer’s desire in the "present moment" of the clinical exchange. Communication skills Students will be able to establish the relationship between psychologist and context of intervention through clinical categories Basic ability to enter relationship with the other (the client of the intervention)’s desire Learning skills Students will manage the construction of the field of intervention using their acquired ability to interpret. Basic ability to represent, account, verify and validate the decision-making associated with the analysis of the instituting stage of the intervention
