Psychodynamic Theories: Drive Theory, Ego Psychology, Object Relations Theory...

The way you break down, organize, and communicate these sometimes dense topics makes me feel that they are not ungraspable. As a therapist in training this is sooo helpful. Thank you for your work!

We need more videos of each of these individually please ❤you make these theories very graspable ❤

This is a great overview of psychodynamic theory and its evolution. I appreciate how you explained the main concepts and differences between the various schools of thought. You made a complex topic easy to understand and interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights!👏👏👏

This was so helpful! thank you! :) I could listen to you talk for hours!

The music is a bit noisy, if you can remove that would help the audience to focus more, I am really thankful for your valuable content, it helped to clarify a lot.

I found this video is very helpful. Also, your sententeces are clear and understandable. So, thank you.

Incredibly coherent and accessible mapping of psychodynamic theory and its branches and developments. Very useful. Found your stepping into ego-psychology and the self psychology of Heinz Kohut, and the reference to fear of disintegration of self, especially powerful. I have engaged with young adults whose life situation was obstructing their securing and sustaining of self; but had not theorised what I was empathising with as fear of disintegration of self, perhaps because unable to consider such disintegration of my own self.

Thank you for this wonderful input. I would add some criticism (limitations), as was done for Kohut, on Kernberg part. I see much too often therapists paranoically seeing patients’ aggression everywhere. How can you even help with that attitude? More Kohut, less Kernberg please 😉

That ws really helpful. There is so much to all this and your explanation was very insightful. Thanks very much

Your voice is so calming and lovely. Thank you for such a great video!

What a great channel, so glad I found it! Thank you.

Your flowchart in this video is excellent / somehow hadn’t made the connection that attachment theory extends laterally from object relations - thank you for connecting the threads between the perspectives / nodes of literature! 🌲

Amazing channel. Packed with information, all to the point. You do not waste any time. Your "German English" is fascinating too. Einfach enzückend. I love the ending 13:09 “In the end, growth does not happen without the right amount of frustration.”

Attachment theory, though devised by Bowlby, is not a theory of the unconscious. It is, essentially, behavioural

This is helping me SO MUCH with a beast of an essay, thank you!

Great channel, thanks for your incredible work it spreads a better meaning or understanding to the topic of discussion.

Keep making videos Alina! Your channel is so great.

I recently subscribed to this channel and I truly appreciate the systemic breakdown of the theories, contributors, origins and the therapeutic approaches. What I took from this was actually the concluding comment that "growth does not happen without a proper amount of frustration". It is definitely a reminder that being on the path of unlearning and re-learning and adaptation is such a turbulent process sometimes, especially long-standing behaviors or habits that one wishes to change.

Another great video! Got a subscriber here 😊 I love the ending comment. It's a common reflection I am having recently, we can only get to where we want with a healthy amount of frustration, anxiety, and pain, of course that has to be balanced with a healthy amount of love, kindness and understanding 😊

I've understood the notion of re-parenting and use the term in the context as something that the patient is doing to and for themselves; it's an inside job and doesn't occur from therapist or from any outside source. It's learning to meet your own needs and learning how to self-soothe and self-nurture. Anyway, very informative video. Thanks.
