Ameilia,
I want to first start off that I know you mean well. But I think you are generalizing about pschoanalysis as well. I have such a therapist and we don't spend much time discussing transference. After 2 years of therapy I don't have transference going on. I respect him, I know he respect me, I am beginning to trust him but not completely.
I went to him in crisis. Of the sort that I thought my only option was hospitalization. He helped me get through that.
I know what you are talking about but sometimes it is the person's perception we are hearing about not the therapists intentions per se.
I know you were not trying to offend but I will say I am trying nicely to say I was offended. I am offended when people generalize about any particular thing. LIke being against one type of therapy over another.
I know that mine mainly use psycho but he is open to the use of main different forms. He was trained at the country leading's psychiatry schools as well as being a ER doctor for quite a well prior to training for psychiatry. He also is a professor emertius at a medical school. So he is well trained and has years of experience. Nor is he closed minded to treatment options.
I feel that when we hear what is going on here we must realize we are hearing the one side to what is going on and not let it get to us to the point that we think we need to get so angry that the practices of doctors out there is so bad. Yes there are docs that could us more training but there are many such professional in many field that could be said of.
My p-doc has never said psychosis once about me. My doc is a psychiatrist that practices pschoanalysis but uses other methods. He is one heck of a doc. I marvel he puts up with me. And he does it all gratis.
Again, i am not trying to offend you, I just want to offer a difference of opinion respectfully.
