  • Episode 35. Envy. A hidden force within human relations

    Episode 35. Envy. A hidden force within human relations
    Apr 29 2023
    Envy can arise wherever there exists inequality between people: in societies and families, between siblings, genders, and generations. “Envy is the tax which all distinction must pay” (R.W. Emerson). Envy has a bad reputation, at times even considered taboo, and yet still it proves to be ever-present. This episode explores the psychoanalytic understanding of envy and its implications for society and therapeutic processes, such as the phenomenon known as ‘negative therapeutic reaction.’ However, envy is not only destructive, but is also a driving force of human development.

  • Episode 34. Dissociative Identity Disorder - Secret Lives

    Episode 34. Dissociative Identity Disorder - Secret Lives
    Feb 28 2023
    The idea of split personality is fertile ground for stories of great imagination—while regrettably also inspiring and perpetuating numerous misunderstandings that continue to cling to the kind of personality organization that we will take up in this episode. *there is a small cultural variation in the episode. We use the German abbreviation "DIS" for Dissociative Identity Disorder. In English, however, the expression "DID" is common. We think that the episode is still easy to understand and hope you enjoy listening to it.

  • Episode 33.The Phantom of Emptiness. On the Psychodynamics of White Depression.

    Episode 33.The Phantom of Emptiness. On the Psychodynamics of White Depression.
    Jan 4 2023
    In contrast to “black depression,” white depression denotes an often inconspicuous, insidious affliction that can last a lifetime. Its distinguishing quality is a feeling of meaninglessness and emptiness that is nearly impossible to grasp, even if everything in life actually appears to be working out and there is reason to be joyful. As if, despite all efforts, it was simply impossible to truly believe in anything at all, as if all love and enthusiasm were simply a stage play, acted out for others. What this is all about and where such feelings towards life can come from is the subject of this episode.

Great summaries about fundamental concepts

I loved how concise and well explained most psychoanalytic concepts were presented. Psychoanalytic concepts are sometimes difficult to understand but this postcast manages to present them in ways that can be easier to digest.
