History

The Analytic Psychotherapy Course of the Centro de Estudos Luis Guedes and the Department of Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine, UFRGS, was created in June 1984 with the aim of fostering updating in psychotherapy. Since then, it has been functioning constantly, having already formed 22 groups with one-year duration each.

Since 1991 it functions as academic extension course (UFRGS). In 1998 it became a two-part course (1^st year – Basic fundaments, 2^nd year – Up-to-dating), each having the duration of one year, both can be done independently. Due to the high teaching standard and the long tradition, besides being a reference in the State, the course also became recognized in a national level and has been conducted outside Porto Alegre, with the name of Curso Externo de Extensão (Campo Grande - MS, Recife - PE, Caxias do Sul - RS, Santa Maria - RS, Ijuí - RS) with a duration of 2 years.

In 2001 the course was approved as specialization, becoming the first in the country to form specialists in analytic psychotherapy, reckoned by the Ministry of Education and Culture, through UFRGS.

General Objectives

1st year – Basic Fundaments in Psychotherapy

Promote the study of basic fundaments of psychoanalytic theory and technique for the analytic psychotherapy in Brazilian cities far from Porto Alegre and/or Federates of the Brazilian Psychiatry Association (ABP).

2nd year – Up-to-dating in Psychotherapy

To promote an up-to-date study of the developments of psychoanalytic theory and the technique in analytic psychotherapy for professionals who already know the basic concepts and have some experience, in Brazilian cities far from Porto Alegre and/or Federates of the Brazilian Psychiatry Association (ABP).

Course Regulation

General Functioning

Both the 1^st and the 2^nd years of the course will be developed in modules comprising 3 disciplines: Psychoanalytic Theory, Psychotherapeutic Technique, and Collective Supervision, the latter with clinical material presented by a student, in a rotation basis.

Seminars will be conducted in Fridays and Saturdays, with a monthly frequency (or according to the best arrangement) and coordinated by one of the instructors. The coordinator promotes discussion of texts previously selected by the program commission, or provides lectures when the group comprises more than 20 students.

Individual supervisions may be previously scheduled by the interested student making contact directly with the visiting instructor. The student must present a written analytic psychotherapy case study with dialoged sessions. Individual supervision sessions will be directly paid by the student to the instructor-supervisor.

Final evaluation must be done based on presence, seminars preparation, students’ participation in theoretical and technical seminars and collective supervision by concepts (A, B, C, D, E). If the student receives as final concept a D or an E in a discipline, he or she will be automatically reproved in it. Every student must fulfill all requirements above mentioned and have a minimal frequency of 80% in each discipline. Cases that do not fulfill this regulation will be decided upon by the course’s coordinating commission.

The groups must have at least 20 students. Seminars and/or lectures will be provided according to the number of students and characteristics of each group. In case of groups comprising less than 20 students, it is solicited a previous consultation. Each ABP Federate or students group will elect one Coordinator or local Secretary, aiming at helping in administering and facilitating the contact with the students.

For the students who finish the course a conclusion certificate of the Extension Course will be provided by UFRGS.

Didactic Material

The course’s bureau will provide 1 copy (handouts) of the modules containing a complete bibliography for each discipline to the coordinator or local secretary of the city in which the course will happen, who will be responsible for the material’s reproduction to the other students and will distribute the copies with at least 30 days in advance, in order that every student have the time to prepare for seminars or lectures (presented in datashow) according to the necessity.

Financial Aspects

The costs with enrollments, registration, monthly payments, copies, instructors’ payments, transportation, lodging and meals for the instructors, among others that may emerge, will be supported by registered students in the course and/or institution that is contracting the course, all under the responsibility of the local coordinator or secretary. The share of monthly costs per student will be defined according to the number of participating students, distance to be traveled, and number of hours/classes.

Basic hourly load

Each instructor will provide approximately 10 hours/class in each monthly meeting. This estimated hourly load may be reformulated and adapted according to each locality’s necessities.
