I really appreciate how you have dug into Freud's psychoanalysis. Although some parts of his theory might be outdated, there are so many foundational pieces that are still useful and relevant today! You have also done a great job identifying factors that would make a theory psychodynamic. Psychodynamic theories build upon Freud's seminal work and were developed by a variety of individuals who brought their own insights and hypotheses.

Let's really dig into some psychodynamic theories. What are some foundational ideas of object relations theory or the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme model? What did Kohut and Klein say about mental health? How about Erikson or Jung?
