A second video in the series of Dr. Leon Brenner's polemic agains conventional views in psychoanalysis. This time Dr. Brenner engages the notion of projective identification, offering several compelling arguments against it's use by psychoanalysts.

When psychoanalytic treatment is effective, it may be that it is effective because it encourages patients to be curious about their minds. In that way, asking questions about possible reasons behind their behaviour, they continue the treatment for themselves. Some concepts and empirical results related to this are reviewed here.

Whatever psychoanalysts understand about the unconscious meaning of symptoms, they need to share with their patients. This process is called interpreting and it hopefully leads to insight. Several controversies are reviewed here: are there rules for good interpretations of phenomena as subjective as dreams; is it possible to use interpretative method and be a natural scientist; can psychoanalytic interpretations be applied to what goes on outside the consulting room - on culture, arts, politics.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

Although people were interested in mental disorders for thousands of years, their understanding was dependant on current religious beliefs and practices, like witchcraft and demonology. Even deep into the 19th century, causes of mental disorders were a complete mystery, and patients were exposed to isolation and suffering.

Psychoanalysis as a subject theory sees mutuality as basis of personality and development: no one can become a human being in isolation, out of dialogue. There exists a wide range of approaches focused on mutuality: attachment research, relational psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity theory are just some of them. And this is not theory for the sake of theory, because clinical realm is fundamentally different when you focus on mutual influences of the analyst and the patient.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

Unconscious is the central concept of various psychoanalytic approaches (and even most of cognitive psychology). While descriptions of the unconscious existed before psychoanalysis, the idea of dynamic unconscious, which constantly influences our conscious choices, decisions, and attitudes, has given rise to a new science and practice.

Psychoanalysis was a revolutionary practice in the field of mental health care for several reasons. Just one of those is that from the very beginning psychoanalysts believed in the power of dialogue with patients. It is a definition of psychoanalytic treatment that it is focused on careful listening and empowering patients to search for and develop their voices. There is now a lot of evidence that most symptoms and disorders have certain meaning and this meaning can be found in the unconscious.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!
