Sigmund Freud's Collected Works Volume 7 | a Scant Review

[@SylviabombsmithUjhy75bd34]

Great video, and nice editing! Very interesting little tidbits and linkages to other psychoanalytical people like Nancy. That analogy of "the best kind of therapy" to "most nourishing type of music" was great, I'd never heard that one before (I'm gonna add it to my Master Gems document). As well, I liked that first quote of Nancy's about all the possible causes of that behaviour reminds me of Dr. Robert Sapolsky when he talks about "distributed causation/causality", meaning, its hard for people to see all the interacting/transactional/bi-directional influences of things on other things (e.g., Social determinants of health). 5:38 - Regarding Freud's talking about "unconscious acts" that always come out.....I was watching this Paul Wachtel lecture the other day and he was saying that apparently the original term was "acting out", but then came to be tempered down by language to eventually be called "enactments" or "re-enactments" --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHa6ia2oZt-ga9U Regarding that Carl Jung quote, and as you may have seen in that Master Gems document I sent you, Dr. Stephen Bacon's explanation of Dr. Heights analogy to the Elephant and the Rider is, I think, another relevant metaphor to the conscious/unconscious. --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4mYp5iMjLWgp9U. The rider can’t muscle the elephant into going where he wants it to go. However, if the rider befriends the elephant, tries to understand it, learns about and is attuned to its needs, he can better guide where they (both!) will ultimately end up going. Dr Bacon also points out here the study whereby people judged faces to be more beautiful when they had been digitally edited so that their pupils were bigger (more dilated), which signalled reciprocal liking. Yet another example of how people can be unaware of unconscious mental processes that influence their perceptions. - 8:15 Lol I can imagine if Nancy were there she would say "Oh please, call me Nancy" 🤣🤣 - 9:25 We all know Jungle/Drum & Bass is the best genre of music! 🤣🤣 - Lastly, nice bookshelf collection you have going! I've noticed that all the great therapists who I follow and watch, all seem to have an enormous bookshelf behind them of all the books they have (presumably) read. hehe. I recently learned that there are now companies who will "curate" your own custom bookshelf/library for you (if you have enough money), and fill them with all the books of themes of your choice, and arrange them beautifully, etc. Anyways, thanks for the vid! And see you Friday! 👍🙂

Why, many thanks to you! I have not heard of Robert Sapolsky, Paul Wachtel, or Stephen Bacon. So, i have some researching to do! Haha. I appreciate your overall encouragement and the fact that you appreciated the humor I attempted to weave into this video. Thanks again for your thoughts and references and I will see you Friday!
