Heinz Kohut - Reflections on Empathy

[@jameszhang8152]

I feel so so grateful that Heinz Kohurt created the concept of "self-psychology" making tremendous contribution to modern people, and feel so so lucky that I have access to it.

Uma sabedoria

Our world needs this so badly right now.

[@helperdoc]

brilliant man. brilliant address on empathy. It is quite remarkable how on target he was with his prediction about how many would misunderstand and misuse the concept of empathy

[@dm02]

Please share other videos ,you made my day.He is the man of my life.

[@Novapsihoanaliza]

Brilliant therapist! First to link psychoanalysis and phenomenology!

[@pamsdisco]

I've read a couple of his books and most of his articles--excellent theory--now it's nice to hear his voice! Thanks.

Unnecessary and ill-chosen background music.

[@Jubidar]

I agree, the music is awful

[@Torsdagskvallsmys]

Amygdala bad settings. Background music? To what? I only hear music

[@cheeselovingtree]

very frustrating how this video cuts off as kohut is about to say what he thinks is his most important teaching.

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

cheeselovingtree Does anybody know what he said afterwards? Or have a link to a video clip of it?

[@Me_ThatsWho]

@@user-wl2xl5hm7k yes, he said "cheese....the answer is mozzarella. sometimes gouda, but most mostly mozzarella."

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

Cockeyed Optomist lol but seriously, still looking for the video

At the end it gives you the link to find the full video. I'm sure a little research you can find that and more .

his voice was soothing

The gleam in the mother's eye." Simply worldclass!!! The other great names: John Bowlby, Alice Miller, Allan Schore, Bruce Perry, Peter Fonagy, Daniel Siegel, etc.

[@dm02]

First, sorry for my english. I want to say something to who cares about Kohut and this video.He is a special person. No one can understand Kohut and self psychology, like kohuts perspective. And he always misunderstood. I claim, i can understand Kohut's mind very well, and his theories. His 2 books changed my life. I cant find anyone who wants talk about him and books in my country. And can't find any forum about kohut.

[@JRozalini9]

So I am watching this to help with my studies and its says "He died 4 days later on October 8th"...I watched this just after midnight on October 8th 2020..Wow.

[@bojoTCS]

Introspection and empathy exactly like the man says. Reflection on the self, as well as employing empathy to consider the lives of others. Try to empathise with the mother who lacked the capacity to give love as well as the countless people around you who feel the same way, and are unable to find love in themselves or in those around them. Kohut is a man worth researching by the way, read some of his work, very interesting take on how narcissism, shame are so common in people based on young life

[@MakeDemocracyMagnificientAgain]

Empathy is the key for a better world, i think...

[@LesliWebandMediaSvcsonYouTube]

Fascinating! I love learning about the different theorists!

[@carloswebster7201]

Wow, that was such awful editing.

[@cinemaniac482]

Probably, he was the most important psychologist of the past century, after Freud: a master in analysis of modern, western consumerist society. We should re-read and re-study him. So actual and current...

[@zafarharis]

.....absence of the mother. Regardless if she was physically standing next to you or not.

[@cinemaniac482]

Kohut was a genius, probably too rapidly forgotten by the mainstream of psicology...

[@legalmails]

Is maintaining a stable heart beats is related to Psychology.?

[@mjoramimi]

Amazing

[@graziek]

fantastic rayban Kohut, like his theory about narcisistic self, amazing.

[@mitchelmisaki4876]

From the comments, I'm disappointed there's no discussion about the dark reality about what he is warning about. It's so sad. He predicted the truth and warned us before he passed. Look around, we have education teaching insidious concepts under the guise of mindfulness and empathy. Quite literally, mindfulness classes as curriculum and pathological teachers reporting teaching empathy to their class (with radical ideology). No one talks about the fact you cannot teach empathy. It is integrated through attachment, modelling and other psycho-social factors during critical periods of development. Teaching empathy either means one of two things: you missed the whole point (therefore you shouldn't be teaching it) or you are narcissistic.

[@youprobablyalreadyknow8947]

I tend to agree. You can teach empathic behavior but not empathy itself.

[@shriswamiramanand]

@3:00 is interesting insight.

[@AlastairSadler]

To withhold core information through editing as a means to sell a dvd is poor practice. Perhaps the producers should use a little empathy with the viewers rather than tease. You demean Kohut, the viewer and yourselves.

[@Sabrinawii]

How does make this voice to be heard in a classy court...anyways..I feel interesting.

[@Me_ThatsWho]

The poor editing of this video requires empathy, I'm afraid :) On another note, poor Heinz...many folks don't bother to actually read him and just say 'oh yeah, i agree with him- empathy is important. I use lots of it.' Hey kids, it wouldn't hurt to actually crack open one of his books and SEE what he really meant. He wasn't saying 'just be very kind' or some drivel like that.

[@dm02]

Self psychology therapists cant look the right point usually. They cant understand what Kohut wants to say to the world. His theories is not only about theraphy , also about life. About existence or god. If someone wants talk about kohut, empathy,self, life or theories, please send PM to me.Thanks for reading.

[@jaimeandres8053]

yo, I wanna learn more about my boy Kohut. Any reading suggestions?

[@Dddddorian]

@love2live2learn Dear Leana2., Well, no, it would only be ''immoral'' to do that to a patient. To do that in this context, of running a learning program for psychoanalysts or psychiatrists, is not immoral just business. Dr. Kohut's Estate has to make a living, too you know ! . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

And ...yet nowdays, We have a generation of children and young adults that were raised by Tv, teletubies, , marwrl comics dinasty, mtv, and social media AND by totally ABSENT, working Mothers and father. What you may EXPECT soon from them ...

[@love2live2learn]

@Dddddorian In light of all the attention that the subject of empathy has received lately, from the President of the United States to researchers such as Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge, I submit to you that what you're defending by your statement is akin to justifying the charging of a fee to inform passengers on an airline, which direction the emergency exit doors are.

I DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS GUY IS TRYING TO CONVEY

[@tonyrusso6836]

Heinz Kohut's insight are brilliant and yet so simple. "What the world needs now is love sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of." The absence of a mother's love leaves a baby's brain short circuited. Unless someone else steps in to the rescue, that person will be emotionally handicapped for life. I have observed this in many people's lives even my former pastor. They are not wired right and can not truly love other people.

@@tonyrusso6836 . . . ah Tony y o u saved my day ! Why ? Well. . . this was exactly the wonderfiul song I danced to with my mother in the retirement home (she had Alzheimers) and never ever I felt so close to her and so tender. I forgave her everything she did to me when I was a child; she h e r s e l f being a victim for sure (They - the doctors of conventional medicine - simply filled her up with Valium & Librium in the sixties which ruins your nerves for e v e r as a brutal "side effect" Ain´t this the eternal problem ?

not very "empathetic" of him to accuse his critics of being purely irrational ;)

[@Me_ThatsWho]

i don't see how they are related. he wrote theoretical papers about empathy within analysis

hardly a very powerful speech hienz. more the illusion of substance.
