THEORETICAL LESSONS
Session 1 (9:00-11:00)

· Working memory: the role of consciousness in cognition
Session 2 (11:30-13:30)
· Consolidation, automatization and repression (the ‘cognitive’ and ‘dynamic’ unconscious)
· Reconsolidation (“consciousness arises instead of a memory trace”)
· Repression and defense (the return of the repressed)
Session 3 (14:30-16:30)
· Life’s problems: a taxonomy of drives, instincts and affects (implications for psychopathology)
