We discussed the main points of the Object Relations Theory, followed by a case study.

The Object Relations Theory is a modern psychodynamic concept created collectively by various psychoanalysts, most notably Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott. The theory places emphasis on how our relationship with our early caregivers creates a bedrock for our relationships later in life.

This video was largely based on the book “Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art” by Teri Quatman ➭ amzn.to/3NyeS4o

    Thank you so much, I have read it in my textbook, attended the class lecture on it, and reviewed my professor's PowerPoint over and over. Because of you I FINALLY feel like I understand. It might be the culmination of all the studying but this is where the lightbulb lit

    If you don’t “gravitate” toward the familiar is possible you “create” the familiar? Like if in the example he had a good loving partner he felt anxious so he took steps to change the dynamic between the two of them to make it more familiar for him?

    So that would explain the rigid and strict way we interact with people-we,love people,but we hate some kind of people,although there is no real reason for it.
  • @sarahhajarbalqis
    Thank you. This is certainly good enough. I have had trouble understanding the concept 'object' in this context. I hope to see more good enough videos from this channel. 🇲🇾
  • @jasmines2328
    Thank you so much. I love the video. Great to the point explanation unlike the go around of the book.
  • @Our_Patterns
