I have been reviewing key psychodynamic theories and for some reason, this one just doesn't click..... I know this theory turns the single person psychology into a 2 person psychology focusing on relationships with "objects". But how does this differ from attachment theory? also, is the depressed position and paranoid schitzoid related to this? Thank!

I'm studying for my licensing exam and this video finally helped me to understand the fundamentals of Object Relations Therapy. If only you had more videos for the other psychological theories!

Thank you so much for this well-explained video. I could not wrap my mind around Object Relations theory in relation to the enneagram. This is helping me to understand it better along with its implications. Thanks so much!

Such a beautiful depiction of transgenerational attachment and healing! We can only give love once we receive it. So true. From a Good Enough Mom, Therapist, and Director of Parenting Empowerment Services. :)

Very well explained

Nice explanation please make more videos

This is a wonderful depiction of this very important article and concept.

This is better than FANTASTIC If all psychoanalysts, psychiatrists (who are not in practice to prescribe Pharma), social workers, therapists and counselors had their new and current clients watch this video a couple of times, their treatment of all clients/patients would be far more successful. Having had 8+ years of formal Freudian Psychoanalysis while in my early 20's, I finally terminated myself because we never got to the crux of my neurosis. Then, decades later, really being stuck in another relationship that was not evolving, I decided to be my own psychoanalyst. Guess where I began? My childhood dysfunctional family - a place never examined in formal Freudian analysis. I dismantled the dynamics between my parents, then between me and my parents, etc., etc. It did take a long time, working solo - but I did it, with great success. Object relations depicted in this video are clear and precise - not garbled by Psycho Babble and psychoanalytic unconscious infant fantasies. Please keep these videos evolving. For those whom choose to understand themselves because of emotional pain and suffering. Thank you, so much.

Good example of PI

I love the name of this channel. Winnicott video next!

Nice introduction to psychodynamic therapy. Recognizing patterns is the first step to having the kind of life you want.

❤❤❤❤❤thank you!!!! This vid is very helpful!!

Very helpful video, thank you!

this is how we (#2Spirit here) become aware of our Ego around others we can’t necessarily understand how they feel cause we aren’t of their culture (#indigenous to Europe) but we can sense when we cause them suffering from there we grieve out how it makes us feel to know we cause them suffering which sucks for us cause it’s always Abrahamic witch hunt ancestral karma projection they can’t help but hate us arbitrarily we have had a very Dark life cheers #ottawa #audhd edit: it’s their ancestral karma all the Natives also come up against the same karma block they have to heal before they don’t see a right to mentally abuse us kinda thing whether or not you meet the legal definition don’t matter their Egos will say it all every time you talk about your feelings

thanks, you make it so simple

Grear summary. How about following up w Lieberman's Angels in the Nursery

Certainly, this video help me to apply the theory in real life situation.

Thank you for sharing some info

I'm teaching HS psychology and this is a clear and visual explanation THX

I experienced the parenting style of anxious, but have the tendencies of avoidant.

5:29 wasn't it Virginia Satir that said this?

Very interesting and informative. I found it quite useful as a needed refresher.

Thank you so much. I love the video. Great to the point explanation unlike the go around of the book.

Really clear and informative. I added some questions on this to Quizbi. Might be useful for anyone studying up on psych :)

Your content is very good. Amazing job articulating and illustrating.

Thank you. This is certainly good enough. I have had trouble understanding the concept 'object' in this context. I hope to see more good enough videos from this channel. 🇲🇾

hi , thanks for uploading very informative video

Keep it up, love ur channel!

I appreciate seeing Fraiberg's seminal article in such an easy and graceful way. And love your youtube handle!

If you don’t “gravitate” toward the familiar is possible you “create” the familiar? Like if in the example he had a good loving partner he felt anxious so he took steps to change the dynamic between the two of them to make it more familiar for him?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS🥰

Thank you for such a great video!!

Very well explained. Thank you!

Thank you for making this simple and informative

🏃 p♥r♥o♥m♥o♥s♥m

Very good thank you 🙏

I loved loved this video! Very creative and approachable way to explain deep theories. So important for parents and society to understand and allow the process of rupture and repair in a safe environment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

'That's good enough for now'- thank you for an excellent message, well put across in a simple and meaningful way. A great antidote for 'get it right' perfectionism.

but for real yeah can relate and hope to fix that

damn thats some computer science

These are the two FAQs I have received so far. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 1) Does it mean I should try to workout an abusive relationship? The underlying message of "conflict and reparation" does not suggest sticking through an abusive relationship. In fact, in order for conflict and reparation to occur, safety has to be established in a relationship first. Without safety, no reparation is possible. 2) "Good enough mother" sounds like an excuse for childhood trauma by parents. There is a difference between conflict-reparations and trauma. While the former promotes resolution, intimacy and closure (think of an example in the Disney Pixar movie Inside Out where Riley was able to make amends with her parents at the end), the latter is associated with a sense of being overwhelmed, loss of control and persistent negative thoughts/ perspectives about ourselves and others. A good enough mother makes mistakes, has conflicts with her children, but she does not abuse.

The message is amazing and well-communicated, thank you for making the video!

The quote by Dr.Bruce helped me thank you

fantastic video, fairbairn was genial

Thank you so much, I have read it in my textbook, attended the class lecture on it, and reviewed my professor's PowerPoint over and over. Because of you I FINALLY feel like I understand. It might be the culmination of all the studying but this is where the lightbulb lit

I think the person who went to psychiatric care because of a psychotic break was not Mary's mother, but her grandmother.
