It refers to a particular 'trend' driven by time constraints and finances. Rolls Royce might well have been a very fine auto once but today it's been replaced.<br />I gave you Cameron et al in your defence but would suggest you consider such names as Aaron Beck, Miller, Silkworth, Skinner,Prochaska,Erikson, Perls. All and more considered different ways to skin a cat. <br />Forgive me, are there no other gods but psychoanalysis? And really are there no self interested therapists? Do some patient not just want to complain and reject any feedback at variance with their particular paranoid take. Mad Magazine did a particularly cutting criticism of the psychotherapists of the world's worst tyrants.<br />Is this a counter transference ego lacunae I sense in your jumping to defend whole profession against me, a card carrying and dedicated member?haykindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390376509834647445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-60595286287161589352010-06-27T19:16:36.651-07:002010-06-27T19:16:36.651-07:00My, my, we are sensitive and highly selective. Whe...My, my, we are sensitive and highly selective. Where once all the heads of psychiatric schools were psychoanalysts this is rarely the case today. I personally don't know of any insurance company funding psychoanalysis. Certainly in Canada it was unable to defend itself against the competition. Which seems to me it really could use all the defendors it can get. The day that psychoanalysis was the only game in town is decades gone. Why is that? Whole schools of psychiatry reject outright the validity of any psychotherapy as anything but 'adjunctive' therapy to psychopharmacology. <br />One of the difficulties with 'psychoanalysis' was that it became more a religion to some, especially given the investment of time and finances for individuals. Besides what's wrong with ego massage. It beats 'moronic slander', and other ad hominem fallacies. Anger management is an increasingly successful, especially as group therapy, and one perhaps I should have mentioned. <br />The 'evidence based' research is obviously there for those who have eyes and those who have ears.haykindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390376509834647445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-84811823709718662492010-06-21T06:13:07.475-07:002010-06-21T06:13:07.475-07:00Your comments and the supporting comments promote ...Your comments and the supporting comments promote evidence based treatments without any seeming need to provide evidence and the comment by "cognitice therapist" asserting that "new science and techniques are three to four times more effective" is simply wrong. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy has been demonstrated to be more effective and its results more long lasting than other forms of treatment (please see Jonathan Shedler's article in recent issue of American Psychlogist). Particularly egregious, however, is your characterization of psychoanalytic therapists as greedy purveyors of "ego massage" to whiners and complainers. This argument is not only inaccurate but a moronic slander against an entire profession even as you insist there are benefits to depth therapy. We do not need such defenders.William MacGillivraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-41803637515534643452010-06-20T17:14:32.991-07:002010-06-20T17:14:32.991-07:00Today, because of new science and techniques, ther...Today, because of new science and techniques, there are current workbooks are three to four times more effective than other early life skills workbooks. While most life skills providers are still rooted in the old methods of the 1970s and 80s, we have embraced the new psychological systems that have proven to change faulty thinking errors and overcome self -defeating behaviors.cognitive therapisthttp://www.offendercorrections.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-34209008670721661132010-06-20T13:07:48.958-07:002010-06-20T13:07:48.958-07:00This needs to be published!

It'd be great if you can offer some suggestion about how we might improved the education system re psychologist/psychiatrist with the regards to how might we achieve a more balances cohort of those coming from various schools of thought. also, how can we tread the line between producing more psychologists/psychiatrists to meet the ever increasing demand and not having to opt for the quickest, easiest to grasp school (the Rogerians?)Aimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018429055765284442noreply@blogger.com
