- Frank Yeomans describes why he chose to be a therapist for personality disorders, and how he deals with some of the inherent challenges that accompany doing Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) with personality disorder patients.
We talked with Frank Yeomans about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and how it 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!

Dr. Yeomans has a degree in literature in order to understand people. What a novel approach!
Thats where its at
As does Mary Trump, In AM. LIT.
Shakespeare was pretty insightful about the "human condition"
HaHaHaHaHa
What an experienced, compassionate, wise soul he is. Thank you for being on the planet in such a great time of need for your guidance.
I love this man. I really mean it. I mean seriously.
I was just going to post this same thing.
@@susanweller2121 Yes.
I work with people in relationships with personality disorders. And this youtube channel is brilliant. And Yeomans here - he's got a Ph.D. in literature!
I’m currently studying psychology and am finding this channel so helpful to delve into the greater depths of human diversity. Much gratitude to you and to this wonderful Doctor. ☺️
This just made me feel so good about not getting meds for my depression and anxiety episodes. I think if you have it to a life-threatening extent, I get it. But for the rest of us, there's probably more psychological and spiritual exploration (and maybe just some basic health routines like enough sleep, food, etc.) that is more effective.
Dr.Yeomans I am big fan...Loved your & Dr.Kernberg's Cornerstone Research on TFP for Borderline....I consider you as one of the Gurus of Modern Psychoanalysis...grt interview on the Analysts Desire....
This channel is awesome. As an SUD counselor I find myself frequently working with clients who have personality disorders. It can be difficult to manage in the group setting of tx. I usually find that working with them individually more beneficial. As Frank stated, they often require much more lengthy treatment. In a group tx setting it can be upsetting for them to see their peers "graduate" and move on ahead of them so frequently.
It's too much of a narcissistic injury for narcissists to deal with being like others in "a group"; they don't feel special. God forbid that others move ahead of them. That might earn you full-blown narcissistic rage as they shift blame onto you for "failing" them rather than looking at themselves (think Swift's new song Antihero..."It's me. Hi. I'm the problem it's me." as she sings about her admitted covert narcissism.
They used to call them character disorders for a very good reason, as they are true disorders of (moral) character. Psychiatry and medicine still refer to them as characterological disorders.
I wish you so much resiliency as you work with those with underlying personality psychopathology driving their substance abuse. Please take excellent care of your own mental and physical health.
Thanks so much for your vids, Rebbie. Awesome questions
Thank-you!
Thank you for your work. Thank you for your words. Can’t agree more.
Excellence in introspection and introjection.
Thank you Doctor
Lovely words
AWESOME !!!
I could you you right now , I have bpd , diagnosed 6 years ago , sadly DBT is hardly known in the uk , tried a few but people don’t feel comfortable around as ( in their words ) I am to complicated, sad ! Great upload t
Marios Apostolou l hope don’t mind me responding , l was diagnosed with BPD after the first session with a psyche! No questions, no delving etc, quite a reckless thing to do, and since then l have done my own research and realised just recently how it was the SHAME surrounding being able to grieve my original feelings of grief or whatever which has been THE problem in life, it has caused me to shit off. Hide away etc because of the shame about the feelings, and in short l see that it is the attachment injury which is the problem causing the shame, so l have dispensed with the label as it hasn’t helped and the psychologists haven’t helped. But seeing this shame blanketing my pure feelings was a revelation. It helps me sit with a feeling , note whether is is a flashback, nurture myself acknowledge the grief and then don’t let shame cloud this, forgive myself. Forgive others, come back into my senses and step forward when ready ! Keep well you’re ok. It’s also the society which is fucked no community etc which causes the psychological problems. It’s not all you! Be gentle and kind to yourself if you can’t love yourself yet. Look at a child and how you would treat them. X
johanna weiss thank you for your detailed advice , you sound amazing , are you in the uk ?
Marios I totally fully understand you... I'm in the UK, diagnosed a few years ago... DBT is basically non existent on this island. 😩
The video was exceptionally informative and knowledgeable. I highly recommend watching it.
This guy gets it. Refreshing to find a psychiatrist who doesn't just medicate first.
The little "Oh" he gives when she asks about running up against roadblocks was very humanizing.
Great!!
Wow, psychology and literature are also my two biggest passions (alongside music) and I've also thought a lot about how my understanding of one has affected my understanding of the other, and how they both work together to build a much more complete picture of the human experience than either field can offer alone. Like the sense of depth you can only get by seeing from two perspectives at once.
4:06 right on the money and it's a cause of much distress. all it takes is 1 good therapist.
I read a book called "Gulag" by Ann Applebaum. Is this the same person as Ann,.your friend ??
oh wow lmao this is so dead on: wellbutrin, buspar and lyrica over here LOL
This channel is high quality. Vankin is abusive on his channel.
Haven't found a single peer-reviewed article from Vaknin.
Yeah,
Vaknin's channel can be like entertainment-- presenting interesting speculations, but Yeomans and Kernberg are real thinkers on this topic. Vaknin does not do psychotherapy and lacks the ability to empathize and care for other people (he's a self described psychopathic narcissist) so he can't really grasp all facets of the psychology of NPD. Also, he refuses to take responsibility for his supposed "condition" on the bad faith account that those with NPD are simply incapable of change. It's extremely hard, but not impossible with a good psychodynamic therapist. I guess he's too chicken to do the harder relational, rather than purely intellectual, work of self insight and growth.
Sam Vaknin? then you haven't watched alot of his better videos.
He is over rated mostly by himself. He harasses anyone with dissenting opinion and has not one peer reviewed articles.
He is not a working therapist and lacks ground level experience. He is all theory and then ofcourse there is this-
He is a narrcisit.
This does taint his views you know lol...
@@heatherwhitehead3743 He works as therapist. He had published many time the links to have sessions with him or wife.
I'm trying to get counceling from you. I'm 25, believe I have no one to help object constancy
Genius
Yup, then you got to get off those meds
👍✨
does he realise the sheer amount of NPD that is present in the psychiatry industry?
i learned more in this mans 3 minute video than in 25 years of "therapy"
all they do is prescribe,, its a horrific industry
Its really a no brainer to play the interview in its entirety? Seems the post modern snippet is of little to know value considering the context of method, emotional descriptions, etc not being congruent.
This is for rich people with PDs. PDs thoroughly eviscerate lives and relationships. Most sufferers have either limited resources or no connection with family who can help and such deep, high quality therapy is out of reach for them. I can't watch these videos. Too sad for me. They're almost sadistic.
