Problems of the Marriage Partnership by Hyman Spotnitz 1977. (podcast)

Описание: Dynamics of the Marriage Partnership. This podcast examines the complexities of marriage from a psychoanalytic perspective, highlighting that it is often not a cure for emotional problems but can intensify existing ones. It discusses how underlying issues, such as repressed hatred, unacknowledged aggression, or unresolved childhood conflicts, can significantly impact marital harmony and sexual intimacy. The text emphasizes that open communication, including the healthy expression of negative emotions, and the understanding that marriage requires conscious, collaborative effort are crucial for a successful and fulfilling partnership. Ultimately, it suggests that many marital difficulties stem from a lack of preparation for the intricate dynamics of married life and the unconscious replication of parental relationship patterns.
