In this video, during a Nancy McWilliams Interview, she discusses the Oedipal complex and its developmental significance in children aged 3 to 6, taking on the challenge of making the Oedipal Complex Simple. She explains that at this age, children begin to recognize relationships beyond themselves, particularly between their parents. McWilliams recounts an anecdote where her daughters and niece discuss marriage to their father, highlighting children's early understanding of family dynamics. She emphasizes Freud's interest in children's sexual fantasies regarding their parents but also acknowledges other psychologists' focus on the broader development of mentalization, the capacity to understand others' minds. McWilliams stresses that this phase marks a crucial shift from egocentrism to recognizing others as subjective beings. Failure to develop this capacity can lead to difficulties in empathy and seeing others as more than objects. She distinguishes between pre-Oedipal and Oedipal patients, noting that the latter have internalized the ability to hold conflicting feelings towards others, essential for healthy relationships. The discussion underscores the importance of this developmental phase in shaping individuals' ability to empathize and navigate social interactions effectively.

Gotta love Dr.McWilliams, her book on diagnosis is a masterpiece
Way to go getting to talk to her and recording her. Her explanations are so profound yet also so simply put and utterly sincere.
Respect. Thanks for this!
great video!!
Was I the only one who laughed at these children? hmmm, what does this mean? If only all little girls in our world could watch this. After-all, relationships begin with our parents/caretakers as our role models. And everything gets a tiny bit easier with the understanding of how we are drawn to certain partners. What a great intro to the Oedipal Complex, thanks, Nancy.

@@PsychoFarm I don't watch her often, but when I do, I always learn something.
Dude is this you talking to Dr. McWilliams?
It is 😎
amazing
Congrats!
This is psychopharm exactly how... ?
it shows how people get to a moment when they need pharmaceutics and psychotherapy XD
ok big budgettttt
I have not idea how that hung together as an accurate description.
:(
Maybe nuclear family is a quite bad idea to raise children in, in the first place? 😆 thank you for a very interesting interview.☺
It seems to me like a lot of fundamentally unprovable just-so explanations. Actually something I struggle very much with in freudian psych, and to be honest, to a much lesser degree with psychology as a whole. In the interest of expanding my horizons, do you have reading/watching suggestions to explain why, in your opinion, that is not the case? i.e. why I should believe that, of all possible explanations we can come up with that would broadly make sense, this one is correct.
You should try an ISTDP therapist. This usually will come out in a very unmistakeable manner.
I understand the skepticism surrounding this theory; I felt the same when I began my psychiatry training. However, as I delved deeper into the literature (which, regrettably, is mostly in Dutch and thus hard to recommend), I started seeing these patterns in my patients and in children at various developmental stages, which really bolstered my confidence in its validity. If you're interested, Glen Gabbard's books are a good resource, though they can be somewhat dry.
You can't understand any of that if you haven't experienced it firsthand. These are theories that only make sense if you have a point of reference. Psychotherapy is not mathematics.
Great 👍 conversation.. funny the little 😄 girl ..wanted married her daddy. Cute!!
these dr's are weird
