Resistance in psychotherapy - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijević

To help us produce more videos like this, do support us through our Patreon page: / berlinpsychoanalytic
With this video, we are opening a series about resistance in psychotherapy - a phenomenon so important that it can destroy every therapeutic effort that fails to have it in focus all the time.
Psychoanalysis should be free! From this motto, we're looking at making the insights of more than a century of psychoanalytic understanding available to everyone and everywhere.

I have really enjoyed watching each new episode on this channel. Such lovely content, and I’ve yet to find any other videos that do these topics justice. Thank you for the effort, very appreciated 😊

How something can become so convoluted and about itself reflecting on itself seems a method prone to risks and misunderstandings. This places a HUGE burden on vulnerable clients to navigate something that it seems as though analysts and academics themselves cannot agree on.

Very insightful. Thank you

[@BerlinPsychoanalytic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Resistance. In patient. In therapist. Sabotaging. Difficulty in following the process. Deep part of our personality that's difficult to change. Refusing to change because it is difficult. Or unpleasant. Resistance behaviour. Late. Absence. Skipping sessions. Silence. Lost during session. Disinterest. Therapist may miss resistance. Superficial change. Options. Explore resistance before moving onto something else. Analyse ourselves as well. Therapist's own resistance re certain disorders, patients. Refreshment analysis for us. Return to Supervision to refresh.

I like this channel, it's helpful. I do wonder however whether there are any women psychs working at Berlin Psychoanalytic? As women have been historically observed and often de-humanised through psychoanalytic literature and treatments, it would be important to bring to bear a gendered perspective, and broader representation in terms of speakers and experts to this channel to bring to it even greater authority. I mean, after all, the chosen logo is a woman!

What about Dr. Edmund Bergler,s books ?

[@paulwolinsky1538]

I am surprised to hear the speaker say there has been little written on the analysis of the therapist/analyst's resistance - I rather thought it had been treated profusely.

How does one objectively conquer resistance in self?

You know the best things in life are free...but you can give em to the birds and bees, I want some money! Oh, yeah.
