Thank you very much professor Carveth. As a psychoanalytical child therapist I really appreciate your inventional thinking and integration of psychoanalytic theories. P.P. Prague
You're helping me understand the range of emotions regarding my incredibly difficult relationship with my mother, who died at 107. I find it helpful. I was not able to put things together until after she passed. You're the only Laconian who makes sense to me since I'm a Freudian. And the Freudians seem to not speak my language either. Thank you, smart man.
So much the better. I never heard of the Lacan until this year when their workshops dominated my stream. You followed them, so I imagined that you were a more sensible Laconian.@@doncarveth
A fascinating and insightful exploration of Freud's interpretation of dreams and the unconscious compared with Bion's symbolic approach. Bion's view of dreams as deeply symbolic I find fascinating, especially when applied in psychanalytical psychotherapy when dealing with for example trauma. As happened to Bion himself during the First World War. Thank you Mr. Carveth once again for another very illuminating talk.
Dr. Carveth, am indeed elated after listening to your interpretation of unconscious dynamics from Kleinian perspective. Though you took us through other Object Relation theorists too. What else do I need!!
Please talk about the restoration of the Self. Do you think there is a possibility of the restoration without a parental figure? If you have talked already, please refer me. Thanks a lot, your work is amazing.
You speak of the winner which is the boy that feels guilt for his father because his mother treated his father with contempt can that same scenario be the same with a stepfather meaning when I was a young boy My mother went through multiple marriages and half of the reasons was because he wasn't like my dad so I disliked him and I always became the winner because she would end up being divorced is it the same scenario
All these man made constructs, or paradigms, are created to appeal to the intellect and emotions of educated humans. Some is perhaps useful for describing living and functioning within their tribe. Very simply, I see humans as mammals, not apart from the animal kingdom - just another life form. However, if humans are essentially animals, how does anyone know that sibling and parental attraction is not driven by pheromones. How are other mammals sexually attracted to each other?
You said "he was a hysteric' referring either to Charot or Freud. Who did you mean? Secondly, found Bollas's book on hysteria very interesting because he argues hysterics make use of narrative as a substitute for having failed their children affectively and even having failed to love children in tactile ways. So children are placed into narrative roles within hysterical parents narratives.
I was not referring to Charcot but certainly Freud himself suffered from hysterical symptoms and, in a sense, Lacan's grandiose and dramatic character has a hysterical quality. I find Bollas's book regressive, focusing almost entirely on sexuality and ignoring the centrality of aggression in hysteria.
Don Carveth i remember a case history or two where he certsinly did talk about menacing and threatening behaviour on the psrt of patients but i concede that this wasn't the major focus of the book which was hysterics' tendency to narrativise and cast their children into roles in them. So an excessive and compensatory narrativisation rather than a defecit of words as failing attempts to compensate for failures to love. Rang some bells for me! I find Bollas a stimulating and original voice. His hysteria book is slightly anomalous as compared with his other books.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am a clinical psychologist and a training analyst and I found all of your videos helpful.
Thank you very much, good to hear.

Well, I’m very glad to be of help, though I am no Lacanian. I have very mixed views about lacan. But I’m glad to have being of help.
So much the better. I never heard of the Lacan until this year when their workshops dominated my stream. You followed them, so I imagined that you were a more sensible Laconian.@@doncarveth
You seem quite eclectic to me, which is very helpful.
Don I am an Egyptian Psychoanalist and finally I found my teacher -you-
Very good. Glad to be of help.

Good idea, thanks, I will try to do that before too long.
New dimensions of metaphysics
Please talk about the restoration of the Self. Do you think there is a possibility of the restoration without a parental figure? If you have talked already, please refer me. Thanks a lot, your work is amazing.
Is restoration of the Self possible with a parental figure? Or possible at all?
Very informative!!! Thank you !!
Thank you.
Is this a masters or undergrad level class?

We are animals, but not just animals. We are the most peculiar animal, the sibling animal.

Levels of Psychoanalytic Interpretation??? Title is wrong methinks...
