The Political Spectrum in Terms of Mental Health: The Paranoid-Schizoid Right vs The Depressive Left

Frank Yeomans discusses the political spectrum in terms of object relations theory and the importance of accepting and embracing the complexity of the world rather than regressing to simplicity. Illustrated with a clinical example of a patient with BPD.

We talked with Frank Yeomans about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how they can affect us on a personal and societal level.

Frank Yeomans is an expert clinician who makes use of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy in his practice treating NPD and BPD. In fact, he co-wrote the manual on TFP for Borderline Personality Disorder!
