PSYCHOTHERAPY - Melanie Klein

[@francoisrenedecotret4950]

As a psychologist, I find this Melanie Klein video very well put together. From what I know, it is an excellent presentation of concepts that are difficult to understand and that tend to be neglected by universities nowadays. Bravo!

[@KendraMorana]

Me and my support Group the Womans group want to know what this is about? Like what does it mean?

[@Dr.AlessandroDrago]

Melanie Klein is a genius, she gave possibility to understand difference between bipolar/borderline and neurotic state, with her study about children

9 years on, and this is one of the better edited videos of all time. so fun and funny to watch

This animation was superb the choice of images the statues all very fun, thank you

the voice over is great. you are inspiring me to do psychotherapy, i never thought it will sound appealing to me .thank for inspiring

[@ModulerDrone]

Excellent presentation of how ambivalence can confuse and distress, sometimes leading to depression. Thank you so much for these videos, they're my daily medicine!

[@Leomeenbanad]

This is probably my favourite channel on KZbin, the use of pictures alongside Alain De Botton's voice is pure harmony! One thing I have noticed is that there is no referencing and citing like in vSauces's videos. Obviously that may interfere with the pace of the production but I suppose general ideas and concepts are usually covered so there may not be a need (just a thought). Also, I would love to see different era's in art covered in one video, like impressionism, cubism etc. And maybe some music related topics? A big thank you to all involved at the School of Life! (:

[@therespectedlex9794]

He forgot to mention that she looked just like Stephen Fry.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

@@therespectedlex9794 maybe because he's not a misogynistic pig who expects women to be attractive to men? maybe this channel is too smart for your dumb brain. go watch andrew tate.

[@ambreenqureshi5912]

Melanie Klein touched upon poignantly and literally introduced the concept of splitting and integration through describing the paranoid schizoid and the depressive position respectively

[@arpitsingh2394]

Psychologists Like Maslow, Skinner, Watson & Adler etc. videos may be done about them too. Humanistic Psychology - Self Actualisation, Behaviourism - Classical & Operant Conditioning, Individual Psychology etc. there are other sub-branches of Psychology which may be introduced to us viewers as all of them have something important in understanding the human psyche and our everyday growth in maturity.

[@RichardKoenigsberg]

What a great series of videos this is. Making psychoanalytic ideas, which sometimes seem fantastic, into elements of ordinary life.

[@lenavoyles526]

Psychoanalytic ideas seem “fantastic” because they deal with the unconscious mind, which is by its very definition always going to be fantastic from the perspective of the conscious mind. Fantastic > fantasy > autonomous action of the subconscious

[@demianhaki7598]

Great topic! I think the benefit of realizing that people are ambivalent, even though it may ruin our image of some and can be very difficult to cope with, is to also realize that therefore those who some think "evil" are not necessarily as hopelessly lost as one might think.

[@lenavoyles526]

I’m inclined to think that getting a handle on one’s projections is more useful than succumbing to the inability to feel anything “too positive” or “too negative”. It may be that Klein’s ambivalence is just a recipe for nihilism. Makes me think of Alfie Kohn’s reference to Monty Python’s “How to Get Hit on the Head” skit. It seems like this ambivalence is just a coping mechanism for a childhood lacking attunement, where ruptures are seldom repaired in a timely manner.

[@KendraMorana]

I don't understand this video? Can someone please help me understand it

[@adrianacasteloh]

You should do a Carl Jung video... And videos of other currents in psychology! They help me study a lot :)

[@Librarymania]

Adriana Castelo agreed!! I would love to see The School of Life cover Jung. Also, Carl Rogers / humanism would be brilliant for this channel. Viktor Frankl / logotherapy / existential analysis too. Oh, oh, and Erich Fromme! (Can you tell I was a psych major?)

[@gdc1989]

Please make videos on: - Viktor E. Frankl (logotheraphy) - CBT theraphy Amazing channel, keep up the good work!

[@shueibdahir]

6:01 it was by this moment when I took a big gulp with an anxious look in my face as I realised that this entire section on adults had been talking about me. One thing I'd like to add to this is that the child starts to develop even more ego defences as they mature physically. Imaginaty friends that want to help you and love you or imagining a future where we are finally loved is part of this same paranoid-schizophrenic position

[@IlGattoCheFuma]

I love how Bieber pops up when he says something you hate XDDD

[@xxIluvyouguysxx]

I’m in grad school for counseling and your videos are helping me!

[@Rajj854]

Your videos are excellent. This must be the best corner of YT

[@SkiKat-USA]

Excellent! Very useful and interesting information. I had heard of her but knew nothing about her.

[@lenavoyles526]

Actually, it just hit me: Feelings of ambivalence are THE justification for Avoidant Attachment Style. Is Klein ultimately responsible for psychology’s great crime of the 20th century: holding up the MOST unhealthy style of attachment as the very definition of “maturity”? -- “We made a big mistake many years ago. We went along with this cultural idea that strong people were separate people… What we realize now is that’s an actually fragile place to be.” - Dr. Sue Johnson

[@omg9261]

loved these psychotherapy videos, thank you!

[@rgcthat]

Wow this really opens your eyes love this channel

[@figueiredomaira]

Excelent, as always! This one, howeverm is a bit uncomfortable to watch because the blue background keeps blinking. At some point I just had to look away and only hear the rest of the video.

Very helpful to review prior to exams. Thanks! please consider doing other theorists.

[@engelsksommarregn]

Very interesting! I've had these thoughts myself, but very obscure (Leibniz). I'll definitely look into her theory :) Thanks for another very superb video!

[@sugandhsai]

Dude you should go to ted talks ....You appear to be one the smartest youtubers i can find on youtube. spread your ideas. My guess is you study all this out of your interest and i feel you would have connected a few dots across some ideas. please share some of your ideas even if they arent well formed it would be interesting to see them in their in their initial points of formation.kind of like the evolution of an idea.

[@sugandhsai]

i just commented on one video ....but all of them are amazing .....i am sure you understand i dont agree with all of them(it could be a lack of understanding or perspective on my side.) ...but i do agree that there is a lot of substance in them. hats off.

[@dannynoon013910]

man this is gonna make your day - this guy has done a ted talk www.ted.com/talks/alain_de_botton_a_kinder_gentler_philosophy_of_success he is a philosopher called alain de botton, he has also written books and done documentaries for british telivision

What software is used to animate these cartoon like videos? I don't mean what is used to create the images themselves, but what is used to make images and text move as they do across the screen? I find the look both eye-catching and entertaining.

[@merri5437]

As soon as you were explaining the "Paranoid-Schizoid Position" I immediately thought of Dorian Gray. Not sure if I am correct about that though.

[@moum23]

The narcissist. In terms of Klein's theory, they are unable to move past the paranoid schizoid position and so can never accept reality that is ambivalent. They are perfect and any hint of a flaw causes a meltdown.

[@ailithic5448]

I always think that a dog is only as smart as the years it has lived and the quality of its time spent doing so :) and apply the thought that if I was the animal I would have only learned in the end to be an animal or dog.

[@christianlow7676]

Do one on Heinz Kohut / Self Psychology, please ;-)

[@mralias47]

you should do political theory of Emma Goldman !!!!

[@letheantears2937]

It would make more sense to do one on Kropotkin. Emma Goldman was more of an activist than a theorist.

[@dannynoon013910]

well she did write essays and formed a journal called 'mother earth' , i get your point about kropotkin though. de botton dosnt seem to fucks with much anarchism which is a shame because anarchist ideas seem to be so missrepresented in todays society

[@The.Pickle]

1:43 This is the stage most Americans never truly grow out of. They are enraged when anyone dares to be different or have opposing views. The "Karen" is always the other person and the irony is lost on them. The average American brain cannot cope unless you're straight and christain, if your experience of the human condition differes from theirs in any way shape or form, they feel justified in using any form violence they can. Anyone who disagrees with them is "woke" and subhuman.

[@philbori6655]

Could you pleaaaaase please please make a video on Gregory Bateson?

[@Alexxactly]

never heard of her! liked it :) may i suggest you to make a video about Erich Fromm? i think you put him in a both philosophy and psychology sections

[@Juka161]

Fromm who?

[@yash1551]

I would say School of Life, it would be lovely to have some musicians involve. Bob Marley? John Lenon, or Elvis Presley. They have some how influenced all of us. Or perhaps a bit of Movies evolution, and how that has effected us. A look at some semiotics or communication authors such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Pierce, or Roland Barthes, are all very interesting people to study. Wouldn't you agree?

[@clonthepathtoapath2389]

great take on depression at the end of video pre-dispostion for growth (accomodating a non-neat non-moral reality) and not an illness - is that right?

[@78rupp]

What happens if you were bottle fed?

[@Creepovision]

I'd love to see some research on this. Is there a prevalence of oral fixation, of emotional instability, proneness to depression, disconnection from others, anxiety?

[@babyyLove77]

the "breasts" are not meant literally. -.- the "breasts" are just a picture for you to understand that the baby in its early days is reducing the mother to her milk-giving qualities.

[@78rupp]

K Ya So will the baby link the mother with the milk-giving qualities if she bottle feeds as the bottle is not physically part of her?

[@cyakar99]

William Rupp Yep. As i know, Klein didn't make distinction between breast-feeding and bottle-feeding..

[@waidanward]

The way I learned this, it was a dynamic theory. All about continued oscillation between the two poles, even as an adult. I think this is a much more powerful take. We all have these tendencies and of course it depends what is stressing / challenging us at the time how likely we are to resort to splitting. Show me a politician who doesn't split when under pressure: that is where enemies come from.

[@lenavoyles526]

Does it come from splitting, or from projection of something repressed? I don’t know if Klein ever addressed whether these children were also being punished by the person who fed them - if not, that’s a major oversight. Punishment = repressed rage = lots of Shadow stuff to project onto others. The fact that splitting does not seem to occur in children raised in tribal societies with much higher levels of attunement and a complete absence of punishment is a pretty big tip off.
