In his 1905 essay on psychotherapy Freud elaborates the distinction between painting (pouring on) and sculpture (chipping away). Classical defense and resistance analysis seeks to emancipate the true self.
While Freud, Klein and Kohut speak of internalizing good objects, Winnicott speaks of the "going-on-being" of the true self that should not be impinged upon or abandoned.

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.
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.
Really enjoyed this especially the introductions to Klein. I hope this podcast continues to grow.
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.
Psychoanalysis explained in incredible depth and with tremendous insight. A gem of a podcast!

This series centers on psychoanalysis with a veteran professor who communicates complex theory in clear, accessible terms. Episodes explore foundational ideas from Freud, Winnicott, Klein, Lacan, and Jung, and connect them to clinical technique, moral psychology, and spirituality. Listeners often encounter thoughtful debates about the self, conscience, guilt, and the role of religion or Christianity in therapy, along with practical considerations for supervision, training, and modern practice. A notable strength is the host's ability to weave classical theory with contemporary culture, making dense psychoanalytic concepts approachable for students, clinicians, and curious lay readers alike.
