| 1/27/26 | Corrections Two kinds of psychopathy two kinds of depression two kinds of shame. | Just as Klein and Grinberg distinguished two kinds of guilt, J. Rejd Meloy distinguished two kinds of pstychopathy,, primary and secondary; amd Sidney J. Blatt distinguished introjective and anaclitic depression; so we need to distinguish persecutory and reparative shame. | — | ||||||

| 9/23/25 | Superego, Conscience and the Narcissism of our Times | Dr Carveth begins by describing the difference between the narcissistically based superego from the object-oriented conscience. He sees the former as culturally derived and the latter as biologically given. We discuss how in the clinical situation persecutory guilt, i.e., superego, may often be emphasized to defend against the vulnerabilities associated with loving and being loved. We consider the use and overuse of the concept of trauma in contrast to intrapsychic conflict, and he distinguishes between empathy and sympathy. He shares his view that the edges of our political parties are imbued with the self-certainty born from the paranoid position. Ultimately, he concludes, "I'm not afraid that analysis will disappear – people who have problems with their soul will seek out soul doctors." | — | ||||||
| 9/23/25 | Shame, Guilt, and Ruminations | Dr. Carveth discusses the differences between guilt that reflects concern for the other and alternatively self-abuse that serves narcissistic purposes. The former relates to Klein's depressive/reparative stage, labeled 'conscience' by Carveth, and the latter derives from the paranoid/schizoid position, labeled 'superego'. We review varying technical approaches to each of these clinical presentations and note that the countertransference provides vital guidance in understanding the state of the analysand's mind. We close by considering how the capacity to bear guilt may be a measure of the maturation of a civilization. | — | ||||||

| 9/6/25 | Splitting | In this episode, Dr Carveth discusses splitting. Don goes on to discuss a problem in Kleinian theory of development, and how Klein attributes the capacity to split of infants under six months of age. That said, splitting is a complex cognitive capacity to abstract and generalize that can only arise with symbolization, sometime in the second year of life. This is not a problem for the Kleinian theory of the mind of older children, adolescents and adults, but only for its theory of infant development.

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.
