I am preparing a 5-7 hour-course about psychobiography and I would like to know how others train students in this field. Here in Spain it is unknown so I will be the one introducing the method.
My students will be studying a postgraduate level in health and clinical Psychology.
Any advice?
Thank you!
Abigail
You could review, here in "RG": "MANUAL DE CONFECCIÓN DE PSICOBIOGRAFIA DE PACIENTES CON TRASTORNOS PSIQUIÁTRICOS" ( MANUAL FOR THE PREPARATION OF PSYCHOBIOGRAPHY OF PATIENTS WITH PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS", by Jaime Arias Congrains
Also in "El rincón del loquero": Psychobigraphy
Ditto in "Psiquiatría.com"
Although, there are many (or we are) Authors, which is, in synthesis, a form or subtype of Anamnesis
Hi,
There are some Youtube videos for your help>
There are some books in this area:
New Trends in Psychobiography by Claude-Hélène Mayer
The Making of Psychohistory: Origins, Controversies, and Pioneering Contributors by Paul H Elovitz
Thank you Bhogaraju Anand I know and I work on psychobiography. My question has more to do with recommendations of how to teach it and make it atractive and interesting to our students.
Thank you Francisco Javier Gala . Psychobiography hasn't been well understood here in Spain as it doesn't really have the goal of making an anamnesis or clinical diagnosis. It is much more related to the exploration of personality and understand in a deeper way. It is not a mere description. In any case, my question has more to do with recommendations to make this content attractive to students. I am also in touch with a couple of professors who have taught this for years in USA. Thank you, anyway, for your answer. I appreciate you took the time. I find this qualitative method very valuable so I really want to teach it in the best way.
