I read this statement, especially the use of the word "never", to be a sweeping generalization about psychoanalysis. I also read it to be an untrue statement, as psychoanalysis certainly has helped people in the past, and is currently helping posters on this forum.
I try to remind myself that fires has had negative experiences in therapy. We all are influenced by our own experiences. It may be hard to understand what psychotherapy can really be like when it is effective, helpful, and appropriately undertaken without personal experience of the same. Hopefully, those of us who ARE being helped by wonderful T's will continue to feel comfortable posting here.
