I am currently in school to get a degree in psychology and I am so thankful I found your videos! They are wonderful for helping summarize the topics in personality theory and help me gain a clearer understanding. Thank you for such helpful and interesting videos!

Please, do continue with your videos on psychodynamics, it’s really important work and I am really happy that people are still explaining the richness of psychodynamic theories

I really appreciate this summary of object relations! I was having a hard time really differentiating between them all. I do have a question. For the adult who suffers borderline level organization, could the psychotherapist be seen as the transitional object in their therapeutic process? Or more so Winnicott's holding space?

Such calm and clear communication. Thank you.

This video is awesome. Thank you! Also, I really like the way that you say "Freud" haha.

Hi Thanks Very clear This is what listerner or general audience needs to learn and befamilar. Great!

Understanding this was the final peace in my healing, after several diagnosis of issues that will be considered by most even professionals to be moderate-severe. I had read about it years ago to fix myself, but it never clicked till the end despite knowing the 'facts' and how it works.

Vielen Dank für das Video! Ich hab einen richtig guten Überblick bekommen über die verschiedenen Aspekte der Objekttheorie und den dazugehörigen Autoren und Autorinnen 😊

This was so helpful! Especially the introduction, just paved the way for the entire video. Missed your videos, so glad you are back! :)

much clearer set of statements than many videos

I mainly focused on cluster B issues throughout my education; having a child, however, has made me re-focus on early development, and it is very interesting breaking down the reasons why people deviate from "healthy development" in childhood towards, more neurotic tendencies, and other issues regarding personality. I'm big on Carl Jung's individuation/self-realization being a huge factor in person's long-term development. Everything I have learned, leads me to believe the earliest interactions (consistency by caretakers, especially the first 1-3 years of development), balanced levels of attention, freedom for the child to explore safely without parental rejection for doing so - lead to the kind of secure attachment, sense of self, that is critical for healthy development (animals or people). Great video, great flow to it, you really know your stuff! I'll probably watch this a few more times, thank you!

Thank you so much for the video and the channel! I'm delving into psychodynamic theories after my basic psychology degree, and it's of great help. Your style of presenting the material is very appealing - subscribed after watching this one video🌞💐

Lady, you rock! 🎉 Thank you SO MUCH for helping with your content! ❤ This here is the game changer… just continue pliiiiiiz ❤

This is a very helpful channel to understanding people with personality disorders in my life. Thank you!

Enjoying your latest. Recently finished Kernberg's Borderline Conditions and Pathological Narcissism which increased my understanding of borderline conditions. I also got a couple of Horney's books based on a previous video of yours which I have found very useful.

Great video, easy to follow and understand

i love your presentations , very detailed yet easy to understand!

Studying at a doctoral level and your videos are real pearls. ❤

I absolutely love your youtube channel. I learn so much from it and you have a wonderful way of teaching.
