I hope Dr. Carveth knows how incredibly influential he has been to so many young aspiring analysts. He has kept the psychoanalytic tradition alive, exciting, and playful.

[@daniel.t.bourne]

I hope so as well

[@doncarveth]

Wow, that’s very high praise, thank you so much.

[@edzons7]

Thank you very much

[@daniel.t.bourne]

I am glad you appreciated the conversation

Epic.

[@AdeleLyman]

Can't thank you enough for this. I've watched many of Dr. Carveth's videos, but this is the first I've heard him link certain psychoanalytic and Christian concepts so clearly in one presentation - and particularly within the context of his own life and experiences. Metaphor, love, narcissism, sin, guilt, conscience, conversion, splitting, projection, superego, atonement - and then speaking so cogently on penal substitutionary atonement as he did toward the end really brought it all home. So helpful as I'm in a process of reformulating my own thoughts at this time in my life.

Thank you, Adele, for your comment. I am very happy to hear you enjoyed this and found it so helpful

Great conversation in plain good English. Loss me on extending reparations and bringing "back into the fold" serial sexual offending therapists who sexually target their patients. Hell NO! The rule is do no harm and sexual contact with patients is beyond the beyond. When psychoanalysis was being established, early disciples were finding their way and addressing the harms of having sexual contact with patients. The dynamics and significance of the therapeutic relationship, power dynamics, was still being understood. Today we are better informed about boundaries, frame, falling in love with your analyst, transference-countertransference.

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, DEFINITELY a controversial opinion of his. That would have been a good area for me to push him on or try to better understand his limits. And I definitely agree with you that we know now how destructive that is and that gives us a higher responsibility

[@darrenmiller8608]

Lovely conversation. I have to say as someone who participates in institutional church, Carveth has deeply integrated Christianity and psychoanalysis better than the people writing tomes about the topic.

[@daniel.t.bourne]

I am very glad you enjoyed this conversation and it is my pleasure to be able to share it with you.

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

The integration of psychoanalysis with Christianity was fully explicated by Jesus himself in the scribed text A Course in Miracles. Just a small note.

I don’t know much on this subject but I have been watching couple different people Todd mcgowan and lacan and now Zizek, my question is though what is the different views from don and the rest ?.

[@daniel.t.bourne]

I am happy to hear you are exploring all of these different thinkers. That is a very difficult question to answer and i don’t know that i could do a good job here in the comments.

Why do we need God für Goodness?

[@daniel.t.bourne]

It depends on who you ask and what their definition of God is

You said you love the russian orthodoxy as a tradition. You really need to take a closer look at it, it is just a huge vehicle for corruption and abuse. And it has actually been that for a long time. But most importantly, it is that if there ever was a church resembling a prosecutory super-ego, that would essentially be the russian orthodoxy. I'm not even going to start about how they pray for putins' health and literally promote the invasion of Ukraine to their believers. They also are very much against LGBT or literally anything they don't like.

[@daniel.t.bourne]

I think his views can be nuanced and complex. At 1:17:11, he said “i love Greek and Russian orthodoxy. I love the icons, i love the smoke, i love the bells. But in many ways i’m an evangelical Christian.” And beforehand, at 1:08:16, he said “Organizations hate people of conscience. The church is an organization. The church hates people of conscience.” So, i think taking things in context and looking at this again, it doesn’t not seem he is saying he loves the Russian orthodoxy as a tradition and organization that acts as a huge vehicle for corruption and abuse…
