In psychoanalysis mental disorders have meaning - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:06:55 +0000

Psychoanalysis was a revolutionary practice in the field of mental health care for several reasons. Just one of those is that from the very beginning psychoanalysts believed in the power of dialogue with patients. It is a definition of psychoanalytic treatment that it is focused on careful listening and empowering patients to search for and develop their voices. There is now a lot of evidence that most symptoms and disorders have certain meaning and this meaning can be found in the unconscious.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

A Psychoanalytic understanding of the unconscious - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:10:51 +0000

Unconscious is the central concept of various psychoanalytic approaches (and even most of cognitive psychology). While descriptions of the unconscious existed before psychoanalysis, the idea of dynamic unconscious, which constantly influences our conscious choices, decisions, and attitudes, has given rise to a new science and practice. In this video, various conceptions of unconscious and evidence for its existence and power are reviewed.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

Mutuality in psychoanalysis - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:19:02 +0000

Psychoanalysis as a subject theory sees mutuality as basis of personality and development: no one can become a human being in isolation, out of dialogue. There exists a wide range of approaches focused on mutuality: attachment research, relational psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity theory are just some of them. And this is not theory for the sake of theory, because clinical realm is fundamentally different when you focus on mutual influences of the analyst and the patient.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

Treatments before Psychoanalysis - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:51:46 +0000

Although people were interested in mental disorders for thousands of years, their understanding was dependant on current religious beliefs and practices, like witchcraft and demonology. Even deep into the 19th century, causes of mental disorders were a complete mystery, and patients were exposed to isolation and suffering. In this video, several historical documents related to this are reviewed.

Psychoanalytic interpretation - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:56:14 +0000

Whatever psychoanalysts understand about the unconscious meaning of symptoms, they need to share with their patients. This process is called interpreting and it hopefully leads to insight. Several controversies are reviewed here: are there rules for good interpretations of phenomena as subjective as dreams; is it possible to use interpretative method and be a natural scientist; can psychoanalytic interpretations be applied to what goes on outside the consulting room - on culture, arts, politics.Part of a lecture by Professor Aleksandar Dimitrijevic at Mittelweg 50 in Berlin 23 of February 2019 for Berlin Psychoanalytic.Psychoanalysis should be free!

Psychoanalysis: A curiosity about the mind - Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:07:29 +0000

When psychoanalytic treatment is effective, it may be that it is effective because it encourages patients to be curious about their minds. In that way, asking questions about possible reasons behind their behaviour, they continue the treatment for themselves. Some concepts and empirical results related to this are reviewed here.

Conscience, Superego and God - Conversation with Dr. Donald Carveth

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 17:32:00 +0000

In a series of conversations with psychoanalysts, we hope to further our mission of making psychoanalytic education and thought available to everyone. First out is a conversation between Toronto-based Dr. Donald Carveth and Berlin Psychoanalytic's Jakob Lusenky. We discuss how to differentiate one's conscience from the sadistic superego, reparative versus persecutory guilt, the tragic foundation of psychoanalysis, and in what way Jesus was the first psychoanalyst.

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 16:35:15 +0000

Psychoanalysis should be free is the motto of Berlin Psychoanalytic. Although we cannot yet offer exactly that, there is a new initiative now set up by It's Complicated that offers something close to it and that is aligned with our vision. #TherapistsforUkraine is a psychological support service set up to offer free online counseling and psychological support for people directly affected by the war. This means all people, regardless of race, religion, or nationality who are directly affected by the Ukrainian war.

The help can be accessed through the website: https://www.complicated.life/ukraine

Since it was launched only four days ago, more than 600 counselors from across the world have registered to offer free pro bono sessions to people affected. The services are offered in English, Ukrainian, and more than 30 other languages. And we already have refugees who fled from Ukraine, making use of it

We now need your help in spreading the word so that the support reaches those people who are in need.

Please share the website and use the hashtag #therapistsforukraine

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

What’s the role of conscience, ethics, and morals in psychological development and individuation? To investigate this question Berlin Psychoanalytic invited again the Toronto-based psychoanalyst Donald Carveth (earlier discussion here) and Philosophy & Theology professor Sean J.

You can access it through the Substack page of our sister podcast, Psychology & The Cross and their Substack page.

Sean McGrath is a Canadian philosopher and Professor of Philosophy at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He is known for his published work in the history of philosophy and the philosophy of religion. Major single-authored works includes for example 'The Dark Ground of Spirit: Schelling and the unconscious'. There is also a separate podcast series, Secular Christ where Jakob Lusensky discusses questions related to Christianity today.

Jakob Lusensky is a Jungian psychoanalyst with a private practice in Berlin.

New podcast and a call for dreams!

Berlin Psychoanalytic — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 15:17:08 +0000

Have you had a dream that stayed with you — one that felt larger than your own life?

This is an invitation to join Jungian analysts Cécile Buckenmeyer and Jakob Lusensky in the experiment of shaping a holding space for collective dreams. A new podcast series devoted to those big dreams that C.G. Jung described as “the common property of mankind” (CW 10 §33), the deep streams of the delta that is the unconscious.

By gathering these dreams, we may glimpse what our culture is dreaming beneath the surface, the myths that are forming us, and the ones asking to be born.

Co-create our new podcast series by submitting your dream before December 31st.
