what a brilliant human being . It melts my heart her wisdom. Her way of putting all this topics out is fascinating and highly empathetic and deep. It's an honor to be able to learn from someone like this wonderful woman.

Dr McWilliams is such a delight to listen to, I’m training as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and her insights and experience is invaluable.

I could listen to her all day. She's warm, interesting, empathic, emotionally intelligent, broadly educated on personality psychopathology and mental illness, insightful and had depth of thought, and she has a wonderfully genuine laugh. Watching this was an amazing hit of dopamine just to know there are clincians in the world like her. My god, if you're going to train AI on how to be an empathic, kind, sincerely helpful clincian please, please, please let the AI algorithm learn from her.

"I think I would recommend you to read all the stuff and then forget it" she's just gifted and genius.

I definitely agree with your last statement.

She’s a genius. I love her. She somehow understands psychology to a level I can’t understand. I’m a schizoid, it sucks. Yet she has made us feel welcome.

listening to her I find her slightly intimidating except for the way she speaks. Her knowledge is so apparent and powerfully so. I feel she'd diagnose while watching people on a bus for instance and be close to completely accurate! Just mind blowing.

I’m a schizoid as well it doesn’t suck at all fam lol. U just got to focus on “who you really are” instead of asking yourself “what is wrong with me?”. Since i made this decision im like, i don’t like this, i don’t wanna talk to this person, it is ok that im alone sometimes. Others can suck it up, oh yeah!

It’s 11.30pm and I’m 45mins in, I don’t want this interview to stop!! 🫶🌈 The Master speaks 🙌❤ Thank you 🙏

What a precious person! Thank you Dr. McWilliams and the channel for the wonderful interview 🤍

Wonderful. A request: please do something like this video with O Kernberg, if possible, while that genius is also still with us !

Wow, that was the most extraordinary interview of a therapist, IMO. She seemed to be so comfortable to just let things flow. So easy to follow her authentic style of organizing her thoughts. I didn’t want it to end! This could probably be integrated into a psych schools curriculum. Thank you 👍💪😃

This is such an incredible resource.

Omg she’s unbelievably good , thank you for all these highly detailed insights

She is amazing! I have learned SO much from her!!

Nancy Mcwilliams is one of my favorites. Thank you so much.

This is incredible. One request would be to not edit out your questions and the back and forth. This is clearly a conversation (and a wonderful one) and the questions I imagine would be as insightful as the answers ❤

This is a summary of therapy that has taken my breath away. Thank you for your brilliance and ability to make the psychodynamics so understandable. I wish I'd been your patient fifty years ago!

I love Nancy (yes, idealization, yes) 🥰

I can listen to her for hours and on repeat. Such a wealth of knowledge and experience..

Nancy McWilliams' 'Psychoanalytic Diagnosis' is a wonderful book which complements the psychodynamic diagnostic manual perfectly. Thanks for uploading this excellent video.

Brilliant video, a superb overview of the PDM clinical approach that's very useful for beginning psychotherapists from one of the best experts in psychodynamic therapy. Most enjoyable, especially as Nancy McWilliams is so authentic and generous in her didactic style.

She's just nice. She puts me at ease. ❤ Smart actin', sympathetic. She reminds me of my analyst.

Thank you Nancy McWilliams for all your wisdom!!

So glad to have found this video. Her books had a really big impact on the earliest years of my career, and it's cool to have a live re-interpretation of her own work.

This woman is a gift. Wished she was asked about mixed personality styles.

My guess is that most of us experience mixed personalities. Bits and pieces of many, unless we are more severely disturbed. (I'm guessing, please think it out for yourself.)

Thank for this new year 2024 gift..she is a legend in her field🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ and i really learn so much from this video

This was amazing and inspired me so much as a psychology student ! Love her words at the end of the video ! It really took so much pressure off my shoulders ! Very sweet lady ! ❤

I love psychodynamics. So much so that I trained in it. This woman though is amazing.

This looks interesting to me. A therapist that actually engages the patient. Sitting in a room with a quiet psychotherapist isnt going to work for me. 😅😂

I would love to have her as my therapist! ❤

Thank-you Elliot, for directing and producing such a natural and accessible film. Together, you’ve created an atmosphere that I feel I’m in the room with Dr McWilliams, a master therapist who embodies her work - teaching the complexity of the psychodynamic diagnostic process through knitting ideas, experience and theory into a fabric that I can admire, appreciate and hold onto.

I love this woman she is brilliant a genius and her insights are amazing thank you Doctor McWilliams !

Love her! Amazing wisdom n clarity with so much humility 😊

you want to understand human psychology than listen to her especially if you are a psychotherapist. she makes personality so relevant in all aspects of human interactions. I am a psychiatrist but have shared her knowledge with my family members who are internists as they need to understand the psyche of the patients they treat to help them deal better with the medical issues.

So grateful to you for getting these pioneers to share their wealth of psychoanalytic knowledge and wisdom!

Mam, you are an amazing teacher. Its a privilege as a young psychiatrist to be able to listen and learn from you from another corner of the world🙏

As a therapist, this is a good recap to fresh the foundation of my training.

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for making these videos. Besides all of the erudition, I love her use of the word 'crazy'. To me, it normalizes and destigmatizes the experience of being and acting 'crazy' and acknowledges it as real and part and parcel of being human.

totally agree, that struck me too!!!

Thank you, this is gold!

11 mins in, I finally understand the very basics of my child’s anxiety since my now ex boyfriend came on the scene. My children were scared another parent was going to leave them for someone else! I now feel so bad for not realising it sooner.

Nancy McWilliams is amazing. Love to hear her speake! Cheers from Brasil!

❤ this woman's insight and shear empathy x

Nancy is so good at what she does and so wise! love her!

This was so interesting, I could listen to her talk for hours.

I have learned a lot from her books!!😊

A lovely lady and a brilliant mind!

Thank you for sharing us such a brilliant approaches.

Truly amazing! How Nancy McWilliams engages with her patients in authentic way is remarkable. Where and who can I learn all these real experiences from? Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and insights in such an accessible way! Her last message to new therapists deeply resonates with me...

This is great. Your video quality and editing is amazing.

Thanks a lot

Good heavens, she's brilliant.

❤❤❤ wonderful

wow, great content

This is extremely interesting!

This is amazing 🎉

i bought PDM recently. this video is so importent!

So impressive. Just excellent. I'd like to know her thoughts on somatic therapies.

Her voice is so soothing. Same like Gabor Mate.

„You‘ve gotta help me but you‘re gonna fail“ wait, that‘s kinda me lol

She's just so interesting!

I wish she was my therapist.

You are a beautiful person. I mean, wonderful!

If I could get my hands on those notes Nancy 😉

I guess everyone has several of these, and that they change over time.

very good

Beautiful woman ❤

Another classic. #bringbacktheshedster

What about the neurotic, who grew up within an authoritarian Christian family? Oh, I get it. On the spectrum of psychopathy, I'm was in the low range. This presentation was wonderful and very informative. As I listened I could only wonder about the 1000s of patients she helped over the years, and who also gave her her experience and the deep knowledge base she has.

I would like to get 10 sessions from her… It is incredibly difficult to find a reliable therapist…

I would like her to explain disorder vs perfectly healthy across cultures.

In Portugal the predominant type is clearly depressive maybe with a dash of masochistic. Its one of the countries in the world with the highest consumption of anti depressants and...ansiolitics (xanax, valium etc).

Don Carveth brought me here

I would love to talk to her

Ohh i have paranoid tendencies. I dont trust anyone 😮

"It's fun to just mouth off about things that are important to me for a long time" lmaoooo -- awesome interview, lots of insightful nuggets
