In this lecture, the third in the 2016 Kleinian series, Dr Carveth discusses Klein's
paranoid-schizoid and
depressive positions, a dialectical version of Kleinian theory, defences as phantasies, grief over what we are doing to mother's body (Mother Nature), and an account of Ridley Scott's "Alien" using a psychoanalytic lens.
Delivered to the HamAva Institute, Tehran, Iran.
