> On the contrary, many old-timer traditional literature-focused e.g. Object Relational psychology schools are having a heyday having their insights shown to align with reality using all the bleeding-edge genetics and AI-powered data going around.

Do you have a link, this smells like bullshit too. In fact i'd put a lot of money on it being just as much bullshit as the research supporting drug prescriptions or talk therapy. Why am i so confident? We live in crazy times and no amount of "science" can control for this short of changing social, political, or economic structures themselves.

The book Hatred, Emptiness, and Hope by Otto Kernberg (a key Object Relational scholar) goes over all the latest advancements. Some people also are talking about Cloninger's phylogenetic origins of human consciousness and connecting it to these topics as well (e.g. personality organization from the Object Relationals - psychotic, borderline, neurotic)
Do you have a peer-reviewed source? I should have specified before-hand. If we're referring to "science" in any meaningful sense, of course.
