Psychoanalytic therapy for depression

According to Pulkit Sharma, this is a group of patients who might get hope and relief from psychoanalytic therapy. The present interactive session was organized by VIMHANS in collaboration with India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. It was a part of a 12-month lecture series on Indian psychoanalysis (2012 -2013) curated by the then newly established psychoanalytic therapy unit at VIMHANS, New Delhi.

The speaker is Pulkit Sharma, a well-known clinical psychologist, psychoanalytic therapist, spiritual counselor and author now based in Pondicherry, India. Highlights of the session:
1. Understanding the depressive personality.
2. Revisiting the role of pathological mourning, shattered self, repressed anger, loss and ambivalence.
3. Disrupted and insecure attachments and consequent helplessness.
4. Therapeutic techniques with the depressive personality.
