VOICES FROM ROOM – What Hatred Helps Us Face
By Categories: Psychoanalysis

Episode 50 of Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action, “What Hatred Helps Us Face with Anastasios Gaitanidis” is now available wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Dr. Anastasios Gaitanidis, a relational psychoanalyst based in London, whose work focuses on the intersection of psychological and political dimensions of cultural and environmental crisis. Relating to the work of Sue Grand and Josh Cohen, Gaitanidis shows where our hatred for the abuse of our climate, and our complicity in that abuse, stems from a love for our world, each other, and our potential environmental future. Far from being a dead-end, Gaitanidis outlines where and how hatred might galvanize us to take agency in our climate crisis, together.

“This collective holding of hatred points toward what a psychopolitical praxis might look like. It’s not about managing or suppressing these difficult emotions but about creating containers strong enough to hold them while they transform.” — Anastasios Gaitanidis, “On Hatred,” ROOM 2.25

THE CASE OF A NARCISSISTIC PATIENT: MORE COMPLICATED THAN AT FIRST GLANCE

A rich, 3 year-long treatment of a highly intelligent, charismatic and articulate 45 year old man, who sought services for depressive symptoms, illuminates the interplay of unmet early needs and religious and family dynamics. The patient’s defenses and the transference/countertransference matrix that developed led the therapist to conclude that the patient was narcissistically organized. The therapist will describe some narcissistic personality Continue reading OPEN HOUSE: THE CASE OF A NARCISSISTIC PATIENT: MORE COMPLICATED THAN AT FIRST GLANCE at MITPP
