We continue by opening up a new series on Drives. The first video features Aleksandar Dimitrijevic discussing Freud’s Drive Theory.

Psychoanalysis should be free! From this motto, we’re looking at making the insights of more than a century of psychoanalytic understanding available to everyone and everywhere.

Always interesting hearing something new from this channel. Just to say, that 'some of us' enjoyed the lecture series format too when that was on offer, e.g. the awesome series on Freud and Art.
Thanks! Would love to hear more about object relations theory, not many good videos on it yet available on YouTube. 🙂
would like to see a video on the death drive
I recall a point Reich made about how compatible Freudian Psychoanalysis is with Marxist sociology.
Both systems rely on base drives, with any more grandiose systems being the complexifications, advances of, and interactions of base drives, and both systems rely on dialectical, that meaning contradictory, formations as a source of instability and creative output.
