Object Relations Theory: Why we repeat the same toxic relationship patterns.

We discussed the main points of the Object Relations Theory, followed by a case study.
The Object Relations Theory is a modern psychodynamic concept created collectively by various psychoanalysts, most notably Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott. The theory places emphasis on how our relationship with our early caregivers creates a bedrock for our relationships later in life.
This video was largely based on the book “Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art” by Teri Quatman ➭ amzn.to/3NyeS4o

[@Labrigni]

Thank you so much, I have read it in my textbook, attended the class lecture on it, and reviewed my professor's PowerPoint over and over. Because of you I FINALLY feel like I understand. It might be the culmination of all the studying but this is where the lightbulb lit

[@goodenoughpsychiatrist]

Thank you for your feedback, Labrigni. We're always happy to hear that our content brings further clarification and understanding to our viewers. Thank you for supporting our channel!

[@jessymanalu5]

I know right! my personality lecturer was very smart, but i still didn't get the point of Klein's theory😅

[@jaclynnward2858]

Thank you for making this simple and informative

[@FriskyTendervittles]

If you don’t “gravitate” toward the familiar is possible you “create” the familiar? Like if in the example he had a good loving partner he felt anxious so he took steps to change the dynamic between the two of them to make it more familiar for him?

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

I appreciate this question. Curious for some answers too.

[@aridivinity7123]

This video was amazing ! Thank you. Wish there were more.

[@wandawilliams6848]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@giticaravan7196]

Thank you for such a great video!!

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

Thank you. This is certainly good enough. I have had trouble understanding the concept 'object' in this context. I hope to see more good enough videos from this channel. 🇲🇾

[@user-kw8ff9ne8l]

So that would explain the rigid and strict way we interact with people-we,love people,but we hate some kind of people,although there is no real reason for it.

[@jasmines2328]

Thank you so much. I love the video. Great to the point explanation unlike the go around of the book.

[@goodenoughpsychiatrist]

Thank you for stopping. Yes, a Winnoctt video is definitely in store in the future.

[@deeptikheterpal8430]

Awesome

[@echoes4679]

Would be interested to know how can that person change....now that the abusive pattern is gone, how healthy relationship will look like?

[@goodenoughpsychiatrist]

That is an excellent question. In my opinion, a healthy relationship is defined by what IS NOT rather than what IS. In other words, building a healthy relationship is a journey, not a destination. For instance, as you start noticing your current relationship pattern is not healthy, you may try to move away from that type of negative relationship pattern. Through this journey, you may continuously discover and update what you want in a "healthy" relationship.

[@macminator3000]

5:29 wasn't it Virginia Satir that said this?

[@ogcastroneto1]

Do you know any books about this?

[@goodenoughpsychiatrist]

Hello, there is no good book for the general public for the object relations theory. But, “Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art” by Teri Quatman is a great intro book for anyone interested in this type of therapy.

[@ilikegeorgiabutiveonlybeen6705]

damn thats some computer science
