Love the animated version, Dr. Carveth. I️ am envious of those fortunate enough to be a participant of your class. You are a generous teacher and world citizen. Thank you so much for sharing your unique perspective.

Hi Don, My name is Mattias Ottosson and I really apriciate your videos. I'm in psychoanalytic training over in europe. Your videos are an excellent adjunct to my studies! Thank you very much!

[@doncarveth]

Thank you, and good luck with your training.

[@doncarveth]

Tyler, Quite right, I agree. There is much in so-called Christianity that I personally feel is entirely out of sync with what I value in the Christian tradition.

[@SaharSajadi]

Thank you for this wonderful talk.

[@mancubthescrub]

He comments at ~1:25:00 about the difference between therapists operating between compliance vs ethics, Ive made similar comments about the legal justice system in Kansas. Our society really does need to start pushing ethics vs compliance; notions of love vs hate come to mind.

[@doncarveth]

Yes

That stuffed animal test you mentioned in refutation of Freud reminded me of Rawls's Veil of Ignorance (why it is necessary in the adult world)

[@doncarveth]

I see the connection, but Rawls is assuming a choice based on rational self-interest whereas the children are choosing on a different basis, a kind of altruism partially inborn and partially grounded in identification with the nurturer.

[@doncarveth]

Thanks so muc, Jean.

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Hi Dr. Carveth, can you possibly recommend a reference for Tillich's rationale (as you've phrased it), "the first step toward authentic religion is atheism" and "clearing a space for the god beyond god?" I'd love to read about it. Thank you!

[@doncarveth]

Pretty sure it’s in The Courage to Be.

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Thank you so much! I will check it out.

Hello Don, is there a reason you chosen that filter?

[@doncarveth]

Yes, protection of the privacy of people whose faces appear on the screen behind me

[@somevelvetmorning-rf6oc]

@@doncarveth Have a nice day and thank you for all your videos.

[@sandyghazalansari2617]

Did you check out Adam Phillips yet?

[@doncarveth]

Find him precious and annoying.

[@armadillodylan]

"God is love" is actually John the Beloved/Evangelist, not Paul. (1 John 4:16) but I'll let you off :)

[@doncarveth]

Thanks
