Psychoanalysis as Religion

In this episode, Dr Carveth frames psychoanalysis as religion. The human psyche is characterized by two levels of functioning— primary and secondary process (Freud), PS and D (Klein) —so all religion, spirituality and mysticism are similarly split. But so is psychoanalysis itself. There is primitive and mature religion, spirituality and mysticism— and primitive and mature psychoanalysis. Mature versions of all these things share a common goal: to promote authentic personal transformation from narcissism to object love. Dr Carveth works with Aodhán Moran to produce this podcast.
