So well explained. She really had an incredible mind. Complex, weird, beautiful, genius... Both as a psychologist who works with adults AND as a parent to a little child, the concepts of bad breast vs good breast and the splitting defense mechanism, for example are eerily accurate and timeless. How did they come up with all these amazing theories back in the day. Something was surely in the air! :)

Hi, Alina! Yes, your videos are very good, thank you for the work and generosity you put into them! And for the way you try to shed a bit of light on how Klein might have come to conceptualize the infant's nascent psyche. For example at minute 11.25, when you put words on "what exactly is going on in an infant", this early chaotic mental life when language and memory are not available, sense-making only relies on black and white body perceptions, interception, as an input, etc. I, for one, still have this "epistemological itchiness" when it comes to how did Klein come up with her original conceptualisation? What was her observation field, what fed her thinking? Although I see how her main concepts have been largely validated by clinical observation of psychopathology.

Thank you for your kind words, Juan. Interesting! The first thing that comes to mind would be the different levels of incorporation < introjection < identification. That's how I'd imagine Kernberg meant it, which maps a little onto Klein I guess.

Discovering his channel was a very random affair and I got hooked because he described my family of origin dynamic so well with his descriptions of NPD, the shared fantasy, etc. His videos gave me the language to describe the chaos and dysregulation in which I grew up. I understood all the concepts that you spoke about in this video only because I’ve listened to so many of his videos these last three years. So yes, I do recommend him, but I’m just a lay person!

Thank you for the great summary of Melanie Klein's work! However, your criticism of Klein at the end of the video seems too deliberate in my eyes in parts, e.g. the mention of Klein's pandering to her male colleagues. It seems like an attempt to judge a historical figure by today's standards, which gives the whole thing a strange spin.

An infant is thinking about annihilation, persecution, death, life, splitting good and bad?? It just seems way, way, way archaic and overanalyzed. Brutal directness in therapy has value, but is certainly not enough for healing and recovery. The early years of this stuff is like the early years of astronomy. It's profoundly errant.

I would argue that an infant, or any other living being, is primarily concerned with annihilation. In the literal etymological sense, from the Latin nihil (nothing), it means to be made into nothing- to be completely obliterated or destroyed. In a basic biological sense, it is survival. In the sense that we are social primates with complex dependencies for our survival, it makes sense that we would have certain instinctive behaviors and ways of implicitly learning about ourselves in relation to others. We do fear persecution from a young age. We do have innate aggression and a conditioned relationship to that aggression. We do learn that we and others are good or bad, and can struggle to reconcile that through healthy ambivalence. How we cope with that to survive and remain connected varies. It seems bizarre to me to discount these things.

@@highhopes8027 I think that’s why Snape’s character and story arch is so compelling - it’s all very complex. Using literary references where the writer gets deep into the subjective experience of the character is sometimes the closest the public can get to a shared understanding of someone else’s life to apply and understand the psychological concept being conveyed. With a character from a well-known story, we all have access to the exact same information about the person, and we are more likely to have a shared recognition of who the character is, inside and out. But even with this, I imagine each reader’s feelings about and understanding of Snape varies. Inventing a character to specifically highlight a psychological and theoretical concept might allow the educator to more precisely demonstrate the concept, but then again, there is a reason why Harry Potter is a global phenomenon - it’s because JK Rowling has a gift at describing the complexity of her characters and their individually compelling stories. A psychologist or novice writer is unlikely to be able to convey the experience of a fictional character as well as JK Rowling.

Not one of us lives in "reality", we EXPERIENCE phenomena of reality through the interpretation of our sense organs, our psychological states, and the STORIES we generate and internalize to organize and explain our perceptions. The capacity to do this is behind all our "rational" capacities and is what separates us from the "lower" animals and allows us to divide ourselves from a state of nature (for good and for ill) and cannot escape our reliance on that ability without collapsing into a primitive state ruled by our unfiltered senses and instincts. Our cultures and our entire human existence depends on our acceptance of and immersion in a story; narratives and metaphors are the bridges that allow us to (attempt to) understand ourselves, the natural world, each other, and the forces that govern existence itself that are beyond the comprehension of our senses and instincts. We humans, unendowed with thick hides, sharp teeth, and deadly claws could not have survived without our narrative abilities, which are the basis of our ability to live cooperatively, and we have never lived without our stories. Myths and legends, religions, political and social ideologies, monetary systems, our personal psychologies, and yes, even science, are structured narratives that determine how we experience the phenomena that we accept as reality. Modern science has sought to dispell our "superstitions" about the nature of existence and our place in it by reducing the scope of our experience of reality to the narrow material perceptions of our senses and their mechanistic extensions, developed through the use of the very psychological processes that "Science" doctrine would have us deny - when Friedrich Nietzsche declared that "God is dead", it was his despair over this awareness and it's horrifying implications that inspired him. He saw the foundations of humanity crumbling and the central fires of our cultures burned to ash and foresaw the cold, sterile exposure to an indifferent universe we would suffer because of it. Look around. Was he wrong? "Science" has attempted to "cure" us of our primitive nature by slaying our dragons and demons, by banishing terrifying gods from our memory, by subduing Nature in favor of a cold comfort; in the process, we have lost ourselves, been reduced to little more than wind-up automata existing only to serve as a cog in a clockwork fever dream of someone else's story, written in the cold light of scientific jargon and objective delusion, the symbols of modern myth and epic hubris. We have evolved our cultures and our technologies to the point we can no longer live comfortably with, a part of us is homesick for the close familial ties and tribal interdependence we are evolved for. Through our modern retellings of the oldest stories, our glowing digital screens become a window looking backwards to our days when the spirits of creation lurked just beyond the reach of the light of the central fire, the cold harshness of existence dispelled by the warmth of the flames, huddled together under warm blankets woven from the threads of common narratives, the stuff of dreams. Of what value are stories like Harry Potter? I would ask instead : of what value is a world without wonder? Which world were we really meant for?
