Clinical Series: Depression

Listen to this episode from Psychoanalytic Thinking with Dr Don Carveth on Spotify. In this lecture, the second in the Clinical Series, Dr Carveth appreciates and critiques Freud's theory of depression.  Don details many sides of depressive affect: Klein's paranoid schizophrenic and depressive positions; the role of aggression turned on the self; guilt not borrowed but induced, and finally, outlines how not all depression is the result of trauma or loss.
