I've struggled to prepare for these lectures. I've struggled a lot. I've spent many years working to understand Lacan's ideas and his ideas' effects on psychoanalysis. I encountered Lacan when I was a doctoral student. He was a massive challenge, most people found him too difficult, but I stuck with it. And I've been at it for years now. For me, Lacan is not new and novel. Thinking as a La...

His work is not easy to read, and I'd even say it is impossible to read if you don't already have a good grasp of Freudian concepts. This is because (I think) so much of what Fairbairn is doing is trying to show what he thinks Freud got wrong.As I prepared for this it became apparent to me that I could talk for several weeks about Fairbairn, but I don't have weeks, so I'm going to do my best to distill...

Relational theory is definitely in the latter group. It is a theory that I've only dabbled in but I have not spent nearly as much time with as I have in interpersonal theory, self-psychology, object relations, classical Freudian, or Lacanian schools of thought. Additionally, relational psychoanalysis is a very new theory. It is probably the youngest theory we will be studying in this class. Be that as it...

This means increasing what is called ego functioning and become less defensive. This theory relies on the economic model, which postulates that there is a finite and limited amount of energy in our psychological system and that all the things we are doing take energy. Defending ourselves takes energy, and therefore the less energy going into defense can be freed up and put into more productive things and stuff.

Enjoyment & Drive, the shift from the topographical model of the unconscious, pre-conscious, conscious to the structural model of id, ego, and superego. I also do a short bit on the economic model of the mind. Review 1. The unconscious is a part of you with a mind of its own. 2. Traumatic stuff can’t be erased, but it can be defensively put into the unconscious, this is called **repression**.3. When **repression** happened the traumatic thing is still present, but as sort of a ghost haunting us.

Things like the unconscious, the return of the repressed, and drive objects. The Unconscious is a part of you that has a mind of its own. That mind is comprised of repressed desires, memories, affects (emotions), and other traumatic things. When something is repressed, we are not aware of it, we don't know it is there, but it keeps on popping up in our lives (this is what Freud called the "return of the repressed"), kind of like...

For this reason, we are, by and large, drawn to theories and systems that help us in our attempts to "make sense" out of stuff. Even the term "make sense" is revealing: We make sense, which is to say that we produce sense, we create sense. Sense being synonymous with an explanation or understanding of wh...

The unconscious is like a ghost haunting our day-to-day lives. The unconscious ghost (desire) is trying to tell us something, if we hear what it has to say it will stop haunting us. Repression is a reaction to trauma. Repression always starts as a solution to a problem, then later on it becomes a problem when it returns.
