This module consists of blocks of 2 to 3 seminars by individual members of staff from CPS, where they will present their latest research projects. In it, students will extend their knowledge about the variety of different approaches to psychodynamic thinking, as well as experience the different applications of those ideas in concrete research projects in a number of fields: the humanities, history, social sciences, psychotherapy, social care and others. The content of the programme and teaching staff will vary every year so as to remain always new, innovative and attuned to what is most recent in the field.
