14 Concepts To Understand Psychoanalysis - Dr Jonathan Shedler

Dr Jonathan Shedler is a psychologist, author, master clinician and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California. We do not understand ourselves. Almost all of what is inside of our minds is obscured from us. We don't need to exclusively despair though. With a little work and some good insights from psychoanalysis, the view can be made a little clearer. Expect to learn why people believe that their suffering makes them more moral than others, how you can create a false identity without realising, the ruthless danger of projective identification, how come it's easier for us to see people as either good or bad, how extreme envy can manifest, the manipulative strategies we all enact without thinking and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Dr Jonathan Shedler and Chris Williamson, 14 Concepts To Understand Psychoanalysis - Dr Jonathan Shedler explores unconscious Patterns, Psychoanalysis, And How Therapy Really Changes Us Dr. Jonathan Shedler explains core psychoanalytic ideas and contrasts them with today’s brief, symptom-focused therapies, which he argues are often superficial. He emphasizes that much of our mental life is unconscious, and that we keep repeating relational patterns formed in early childhood without realizing it. Through a deep, ongoing therapeutic relationship, these patterns are re-enacted with the therapist, examined, and gradually transformed into greater self-knowledge and freedom. Along the way, he unpacks concepts like moral masochism, false self, transference, projective identification, splitting, and psychological defenses, and shows how they play out both in personal life and modern culture.
