The History of Psychoanalysis | Lecture 6: Psychoanalysis as a Profession

Our mission is to re-imagine psychology for the 21st century through connection, exploration, and innovation.

---

In the final segment of a series introducing the different facets of psychoanalysis, Dr. Aleksandar Dimitrijevic considers the tricky question as to whether psychoanalysts are united as a workers union, scientific association or religious sect?

Most psychoanalysts are organised in institutes, societies and associations, the necessity of which has been continually contested. Indeed, the first of these was founded more than a century ago.

Aleksandar Dimitrijevic, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and lecturer at International Psychoanalytic University - IPU Berlin.

[purgatoriprytania]

As someone who came from the humanities to psychology, I am on board with the indispensable value of research—I just want other people to do it for me lol I am a creature of hermeneutics and intuition.

Personal Key Takeaway: Dr Aleksandar provides a different perspective of Psychoanalysis. With deep humility and openness. The Ideal. And the Dark. It's utility. Beyond Freud and the many controversies.

[gmabreak]

What do you think about the writings of Edmund Bergler M D, assistant director of Freud Clinic in Vienna in the 1930, s and Psychoanalist in New York City from 1940 to 1962 ?

[SergeiBeliachenkov]

Hey guys, does anyone know what's at the end? It cuts off in his last phrase.

[JSwift-jqwn]

The cores and foundation of psychoanalysis is the Oedipus complex. It has almost no valid premise in our world today, because of diminished, almost I obsolete role of the father etc.

[coreolis]

the one who discovered the TALKING CURE in the end could not talk... also true of Lacan who got aphasia
