In a series of conversations with psychoanalysts, we hope to further our mission of making psychoanalytic education and thought available to everyone. Support our mission on Patreon: bit.ly/3fADlr7
First out is a talk 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.
The podcast version will be made available on: spoti.fi/3FrZt1y
