Emerging Adulthood, sometimes called the Odyssey Years, has been recently identified as a distinct phase of lifespan development that extends throughout a person’s twenties. The 7-part course will view how psychoanalysis relates to this stage of life. Theoretical and clinical considerations shall be offered.

Learning objectives: After attending this course, participants will be able to
– Define the developmental period, “Emerging Adulthood,” and distinguish it from late adolescence.
– Describe the developmental processes within this period associated with identity and gender.
– Assess developmental issues of relationships and intimacy characteristic of this period.
– Discuss personal goal setting and values associated with people in their twenties and how they relate to a range of issues bringing them to therapy.
– Identify the characteristic developmental problems relating to launching a career path.
– Describe the changing relationship between emerging adults and their parents, especially as they move towards a sense of equality and mutual respect.
– Assess the impact of technology and related cultural change as they affect identity and interpersonal relationships in both normative and non-normative patterns.
