Critical Thinking I: development—the relevance of child observation for psychoanalysis

The educational goal of three classes that are taught at the end of the first year is to familiarize candidates with the epistemological problems that must be considered when trying to use data from the observational and empirical sciences. We explore some of the problems associated with attempts to create conceptual bridges that link different kinds of knowledge. At the end of this unit, candidates should be able to think critically about how to use research data and apply it.
