As a psychologist, I find this Melanie Klein video very well put together. From what I know, it is an excellent presentation of concepts that are difficult to understand and that tend to be neglected by universities nowadays. Bravo!

Melanie Klein is a genius, she gave possibility to understand difference between bipolar/borderline and neurotic state, with her study about children

Adriana Castelo agreed!! I would love to see The School of Life cover Jung. Also, Carl Rogers / humanism would be brilliant for this channel. Viktor Frankl / logotherapy / existential analysis too. Oh, oh, and Erich Fromme! (Can you tell I was a psych major?)

9 years on, and this is one of the better edited videos of all time. so fun and funny to watch

Excellent presentation of how ambivalence can confuse and distress, sometimes leading to depression. Thank you so much for these videos, they're my daily medicine!

Psychologists Like Maslow, Skinner, Watson & Adler etc. videos may be done about them too. Humanistic Psychology - Self Actualisation, Behaviourism - Classical & Operant Conditioning, Individual Psychology etc. there are other sub-branches of Psychology which may be introduced to us viewers as all of them have something important in understanding the human psyche and our everyday growth in maturity.

the voice over is great. you are inspiring me to do psychotherapy, i never thought it will sound appealing to me .thank for inspiring

I love how Bieber pops up when he says something you hate XDDD

What a great series of videos this is. Making psychoanalytic ideas, which sometimes seem fantastic, into elements of ordinary life.

Psychoanalytic ideas seem “fantastic” because they deal with the unconscious mind, which is by its very definition always going to be fantastic from the perspective of the conscious mind. Fantastic > fantasy > autonomous action of the subconscious

Please make videos on: - Viktor E. Frankl (logotheraphy) - CBT theraphy Amazing channel, keep up the good work!

Great topic! I think the benefit of realizing that people are ambivalent, even though it may ruin our image of some and can be very difficult to cope with, is to also realize that therefore those who some think "evil" are not necessarily as hopelessly lost as one might think.

I’m inclined to think that getting a handle on one’s projections is more useful than succumbing to the inability to feel anything “too positive” or “too negative”. It may be that Klein’s ambivalence is just a recipe for nihilism. Makes me think of Alfie Kohn’s reference to Monty Python’s “How to Get Hit on the Head” skit. It seems like this ambivalence is just a coping mechanism for a childhood lacking attunement, where ruptures are seldom repaired in a timely manner.

This is probably my favourite channel on KZread, the use of pictures alongside Alain De Botton's voice is pure harmony! One thing I have noticed is that there is no referencing and citing like in vSauces's videos. Obviously that may interfere with the pace of the production but I suppose general ideas and concepts are usually covered so there may not be a need (just a thought). Also, I would love to see different era's in art covered in one video, like impressionism, cubism etc. And maybe some music related topics? A big thank you to all involved at the School of Life! (:

Melanie Klein touched upon poignantly and literally introduced the concept of splitting and integration through describing the paranoid schizoid and the depressive position respectively

Wow this really opens your eyes love this channel

Thank you for this. Really helpful

Excellent! Very useful and interesting information. I had heard of her but knew nothing about her.

this is nice i hope you continue doing it!

Thanks for a great lesson.

this was awesome!

excellent video thanks. interesting and fun!

6:01 it was by this moment when I took a big gulp with an anxious look in my face as I realised that this entire section on adults had been talking about me. One thing I'd like to add to this is that the child starts to develop even more ego defences as they mature physically. Imaginaty friends that want to help you and love you or imagining a future where we are finally loved is part of this same paranoid-schizophrenic position

Very interesting! I've had these thoughts myself, but very obscure (Leibniz). I'll definitely look into her theory :) Thanks for another very superb video!

Love it. No mumbo jumbo. Do more....many more.

The narcissist. In terms of Klein's theory, they are unable to move past the paranoid schizoid position and so can never accept reality that is ambivalent. They are perfect and any hint of a flaw causes a meltdown.

excellent overview of Klein's psychotherapeutic beliefs.

Good research

I love The School of Life but the images in this one are particularly witty!

Actually, it just hit me: Feelings of ambivalence are THE justification for Avoidant Attachment Style. Is Klein ultimately responsible for psychology’s great crime of the 20th century: holding up the MOST unhealthy style of attachment as the very definition of “maturity”? -- “We made a big mistake many years ago. We went along with this cultural idea that strong people were separate people… What we realize now is that’s an actually fragile place to be.” - Dr. Sue Johnson

I would say School of Life, it would be lovely to have some musicians involve. Bob Marley? John Lenon, or Elvis Presley. They have some how influenced all of us. Or perhaps a bit of Movies evolution, and how that has effected us. A look at some semiotics or communication authors such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Pierce, or Roland Barthes, are all very interesting people to study. Wouldn't you agree?

Please do more profile videos!!!!

The way I learned this, it was a dynamic theory. All about continued oscillation between the two poles, even as an adult. I think this is a much more powerful take. We all have these tendencies and of course it depends what is stressing / challenging us at the time how likely we are to resort to splitting. Show me a politician who doesn't split when under pressure: that is where enemies come from.

@lenavoyles526

Жыл бұрын

Does it come from splitting, or from projection of something repressed? I don’t know if Klein ever addressed whether these children were also being punished by the person who fed them - if not, that’s a major oversight. Punishment = repressed rage = lots of Shadow stuff to project onto others. The fact that splitting does not seem to occur in children raised in tribal societies with much higher levels of attunement and a complete absence of punishment is a pretty big tip off.
