Defense Mechanisms in psychology are our inbuilt anxiety management system. Denial, projection, repression, intellectualization, shield us from anxiety and protect our self-esteem.

    I was socially anxious my whole life. I couldn't make eye contact. My interactions with people were so awkward that it made them feel awkward as well - they got so uncomfortable around me. When I'm working among people, I feel painfully self-conscious. Whenever I'm having talks with people, the conversation doesn't flow - I feel like I have to respond to everything. Maybe I take too much responsibility for maintaining it? It's awful, and most of the time, words don't come out.

    Systemic psychotherapy comes very clearly out of general systems theory, which was applied to psychotherapy to families. It’s not like they just developed their own theories, all systemic approaches come out from general systems theory, an establish multidisciplinary theory applied to many different areas. They also did not “borrow” psychodynamic and behavioural approaches, a systemic views on mind and behaviour is very different and seconds order circular.

    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.

  • @adamborowicz7209

    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 keep getting labled as being "avoidant type" attachment style in relationships, but luckily I found out about Adler: here's where I end and you begin. I love you, but I want you to love yourself. I need time and space to focus on my stuff, I want to give you time and space to focus on your stuff too. Let's work on ourselves together... That's a healthy, wise way of relating. It doesn't mean you are afraid of intimacy. Adler basically shows that the so called "Avoidant" type is basically the healthiest attachment style.

      @@PsychodynamicPsychologyI actually have no background whatsoever in psychology but I personally find his videos intriguing. 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!
