Psychoanalytic Levels of Organization: Neurotic, Borderline, and Psychotic

I speak about the psychoanalytic levels of organization: the neurotic, borderline, and psychotic levels discussed in Nancy McWilliams' text Psychoanalytic Diagnosis (2nd ed). I also give examples from my own clinical and support work experiences.

The following chapters from McWilliams are covered in the podcast:

• Chapter 3: Developmental Levels of Personality Organization (p. 43-69)
• Chapter 4: Implication of Developmental Levels of Organization (p. 70-99)

Next week's episode will explore defense mechanisms.
