Episode 172: Mind, Self, and Affect with Guest Dr. Drew (Part One)

From The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

Radio legend Dr. Drew Pinsky talks with us about "Attachment and Reflective Function: Their Role in Self-Organization" by Peter Fonagy and two articles by Allan Schore.

The focus is "theory of mind"; how do we develop the ability to impute thoughts and intentions to others? What in our upbringing can interfere with this development? We relate this back to previous episodes (Hegel, Buber, etc.) on recognition by others of the self.
