Show Notes
In this episode, Dr Carveth discusses The Sins of the Fathers. The analysands of corrupt analysts are suspected of being corrupt too unless they undergo the ritual purification of a second analysis with an analyst in good standing. But do bad parents always have bad kids? Do good parents always have good kids? Does this socially deterministic theory make sense? Are there no biological factors? Are there no choices with consequences? Dr Carveth works with Aodhán Moran to produce this podcast. If you'd like to inquire about Aodhán's services, contact him here.

Correction: not a one-way progression from knowing to being but a dialectical integration of knowing and being. Although my technique has always been relational (vs. still face, cold fish, abstinence, neutrality, non-self-revealing), Freudian and Kleinian work on enhancing self-understanding remains essential, as does the conscientious critique of the superego. In liberating conscience one is emancipating the true self.
First as a Freudian, then a Kleinian, the technique was "enlightening." With Winnicott, Kohut and Bion it shifted from knowing to being.
