What is Psychoanalysis?

[@psychoanalysistodayy]

This video should be over an hour long! Dr. Carveth is amazing!

[@richardkoenigsberg4271]

Pretty good explanation...especially of why the couch is used.

[@geralldus]

My experience is that the analyst is in essence a psychic prosthetic who forms a mirror for the analysand to be become aware of and eventually integrate that which is repressed or hidden. It is a very strange and unique process, not without hazard, which requires considerable commitment and hard work on the part of the patient and of course patience and dedication on the part of the analyst. The significance of the couch is that the patient sees the analyst when they enter and leave, during the session the patient is only aware of their own thoughts and the disembodied interventions of the analyst. This seems significant as the temptation is that the patient will look to the analyst for direction, rather than as one who simply clears the path for the individual to progress under their own agency.

Well said

[@yoya4766]

Thank you for this description of the process. It's been killing me wondering wtf is going on. I'm expecting guidance and getting none.

[@oooodaxteroooo]

the most valuable point is the talk about defense. what is key to understand is the structure of the defense. the major factor as i understand it is the psyche protecting the body from challanges it cant take. changing/severing a bond, seeing truth and being able to move on with them. the process of becoming concious needs therefore to start with understanding and building ressources to handle what our psyche keeps from becoming concious for good reasons. this principle can be observed in any mourning process. first we deny, ie protect ourselves from the new reality breaking our self, overloading us. sadness phases draw in support from remaining persons bonded with us and through their support we integrate that which went missing when the person went into our own lives or let things go at our own pace.

[@claramsoares]

Very enlightening.. An open-minded view of the field and sharp and useful observations in contemporary practice. Thanks and greetings from Portugal.

[@JM-xk3xs]

A very clear description of important points, in a succinct way and a short time. Thank you.

[@alexandriavillarreal2129]

this is amazing information, thank you for speaking out on this topic!

I've been through 'talk' psychotherapy as well as behavioural therapy for a year each and neither had any lasting effect or new insights as I am highly self-reflective by default. The mechanics of my struggles are crystal clear to me on a cognitive level, yet I am still haunted by whatever nightmarish demon of feelings lives in the depths of my psyche. Therefore, a new psychotherapist who didn't feel capable of working with me recently pointed me in the direction of psychoanalysis. I'm doubtful of it, though. I appreciate Freud's theories very much, but: I'm a writer and an artist. I do free association all day. I don't see how doing the same thing with a psychoanalyst will bring anything new?

[@JoolsGuitar]

the focus of the therapeutic effect is not on the free association. Free association has nothing to do with the patient, actually. Letting the patient talk freely is something therapists need to observe dynamics on patient's personality that are deeper in the structure of the spontaneous discourse

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

@@JoolsGuitar It all depends on how intelligent the therapists is. The weird thing is that almost everyone sees a psychologists as being equipped for their job. I feel most are not. Just because you studied certain shit for some years , doesnt make you equipped for a certain job. Many of my co-students were privileged white millennial chicks that wanted to know themselves, or want the status of becoming a psychologist, all the while partying and sucking dicks at parties in between exams. We have a huge gap in the system of testing actual skill, life experience, insights, empathy etc (and most of all knowing themselves truly) for people that treat others. Especially those that deal with the vulnerable , especially dealing with the mind.

[@oooodaxteroooo]

as a wild guess: over-rationalising and maybe hysterionic personality play a role in your case. a hint of narcism probably, too. in essence: maybe youre not as „freely“ associating as you think. ;) the whole point is to go somewhere youve never been before and as science has it, you cannot imagine thatplace before you go there. the journey is equally surprising. good luck.

[@Jk2736]

Just be empty, stop any relationship with your feelings or any thoughts. Don't identify with any thing in your mind by this I mean start learning how not to process anything in your mind. Be in the moment...bring your mind where your heart is and listen to your senses...our insticts keeps us out of danger/discomfort through sensation...Just talk and bring your heart to the moment. Read to learn more about how your body,mind and soul relates. This helps you to get out of your mind conditioning. Remember we are our experiences and our experiences are as a result of the environment we have interacted with...so change in behaviour calls for dropping what we have learnt and letting education reign. Behavioural therapy makes us get or understand what's in our subconscious mind... understanding your inhibitions might also be of great help....it's a painful state of mind and trust me with a good therapist you'll be Okey.

[@adamd2760]

To say your are anything “by default” is a great place to start in your journey to unpack why you think that is the case.

[@rahsunallah2825]

[@ZapatosVibes]

Very insightful, thank you!

[@islaha8651]

Very Insightful talk.

[@mranderson5668]

Have you got a breakdown as to how the process works? Where to you start? do you have a script?

[@Powergirl838]

Wow that was really good.Very well explained 💛

[@usamatahir1995]

Thank you this is very helpful and interesting 😊

[@johnCjr4671]

I wish there were more Psychologists that acknowledge the effects of Modern Day Societies stressors on individuals ?

[@edgreen8140]

They were happy to read kernberg.

[@jupiterinaries6150]

I love all those books.

[@CatherineWittRealEstate]

One thing I'm super curious about is what is the macrocosm of all this? Would you please ask Susan?

[@stoneneils]

That we're monkeys trying to domesticate ourselves into a society that communicates via language and laws based on a morality that is against our primate nature.

[@manojr5746]

omg. finally I got it

[@horacioplotino1894]

I trust him already

[@calebweissraaberg2813]

Super cute!

Never worked for me I was just talked out

[@naveedniazi3644]

This doc baby is super 😍 😍

[@daisy7066]

Anger turned on the self = depression? Thought that was disproved years ago by anthropology.

[@khawla9496]

Can you please recite some ressources?

[@greatwitchallah7080]

Any.

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

"non-judgmental and non-authoritarian" Mwahaha. This is doubly precious after Freud's letters got published, his patients (which he fraudulently claimed to have cured) were researched, after we've learned what happened to Klein's children, after all the suicides in the Vienna Psychoanalytic society, after all the psychic invalids psychoanalysis left in its wake... There's enough literature out there, I won't bore you with details. But shamelessly propagating this, fleecing the suffering and the vulnerable...

[@yoya4766]

Nice rhetoric but it just doesn't work.

[@elielpaiva2153]

It isn’t just about work or don’t It’s about how. What you do with your symptoms.

[@19grand]

after years of analysis I find it is quite useless.

[@jupiterinaries6150]

19grand what we're you looking for in it?

[@19grand]

An improvement in my quality of life. I wanted to smile a little more.

[@andreluizcastro1166]

Do you think analysis is a pill to swallow and feel better? It's about getting a hold of the meaning of your life, of the things you do. And that can be truly curative.

[@jupiterinaries6150]

Aluzca very accurate.

[@19grand]

Aluzca It didnt give me that either. (I don't know whether you mean to be patronising or not but that's how it reads).

[@cuckoohunter1628]

Freud's ideas doesn't have any market value! Because he had stated the rationalisation as a defence mechanism and he is refusing the rationalisation. On the other hand; all the financial systems and world economy is based upon rationalisation. If you look at the any book of finance or economy, it starts by addressing the notion of rationality. If you want to make money choose Rene Descartes instead of Sigmund Freud. Freud wrong! Descartes right!
