  • First-class psychoanalytic education

    It has taken some time to take to Carveth. At first, his presentation style might make you think he’s an old school authoritarian - and maybe he is occasionally. However I have come to love these podcasts. I listen to them when I’m traveling, often re-listening to an episode. Carveth has helped me make links between psychoanalytic concepts and theorists. I’m hoping to formally train as a psychoanalyst one day.

  • A wonderful introduction to psychoanalytical concepts

    As someone who is new to psychoanalytic thinking, I’m finding Don is able to break down extremely complex ideas, concepts and contradictions between different schools of though in insightful and digestible ways. A massive thank you to Don for this invaluable resource.

  • Nourishing ideas

    Read several Penguin paperbacks of Freud recently and have been looking for more insights. Carveth has the qualities one looks for in a good professor: an ability to riff on subject matter in an interesting way; a clear and plainspoken approach to his material; and strong opinions, which give the talks a sort of pleasurable belligerence. Hopefully he will continue to upload more talks in the months and years to come.
