You have an actual "psychoanalyst?" Like, a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who specializes in actual psychoanalysis, and advertises as such? Or are you just using the term as kind of a catch-all? Not trying to be a dick, really curious. A lot of mental health clinicians avoid that designation for fear of accusations of pseudo-science, so It's pretty rare that a clinician (a modern-day, American clinician at least) will profess to be a psychoanalyst. But then I find that a bit wackadoo because there are plenty of "life coaches," and spiritual gurus and even LPC's out there who will feed you a much more jilted, fanciful, dangerous blend of bullshit unconscious theory and palmreading, just through a different straw (and without accepting insurance, because, you know, they're frauds). Anyway, I hear you. I used to really put my therapists through the ringer. I'd challenge them and then decide to work with them and then turn on them again without warning. I'm not a nasty person, but the closest I've ever been to being vindictive was when I was dealing with therapists and counselors. Even when I was just being myself, and trying to work with them, I made everything harder. Do you think this has something to do with my father feeding me cucumbers when I was little? I mean, that's a pretty transparent way to mind-rape a kid isn't it? Symbolic penis eating. Eureka! Just kidding. Sorry. I didn neuroscience stuff once. Turned me into a dick. |

is it true they just sit there and listen and say nothing?
i've heard of this a woman i used to know went to one of them for a bazillion years the only time the shrink spoke was when the patient said she wasn't coming back does the silence work for you? |

my therapy (the one that saved my life & sanity) consisted of very intense and long discussions between the shrink and me. rabbinical vs. quasi-zen approaches i suppose at first i interviewed him at length about his job, actually. why he worked there and how he got to be a shrink. etc. i mean, i was hiring the guy, least i could do was interview him. over the years i got to know him almost as well as he knew me. in that way, i knew i could trust him. like-- don't just tell me something, but explain where you're coming from, and if i don't understand or think it's shit i'll let you know. so i often did. anyway im rambling now. but yeah, this lacanian business is quite intriguing. |

Re: therapy, some people have need of someone to talk to to confide in. others have a need for someone to confront their thoughts and ideas. yet others need someone to go back and forth, to draw out the issues. a good therapist knows the difference and will tailor themselves to the patient.

some people need that. Especially people whose entire lives are spent being talked over or ignored or made to feel insignificant. an open, quiet ear is immensely valuable for self-preservation.

Yep. Psychotherapy is the states is primarily based on a medical model, and "analysis" is not really part of the equation. Some therapists still utilize elements of psychoanalysis, but usually with a preamble, like "hey, we can try that if you really want, but understand that it will not be the main focus of our time together." Or some shit. But with Lacacian psychoanalysis specifically... yeah, even ties to "psychoanalysis" as a term separate from and independent of modern clinical psychotherapy are loose at best. Non-'Mericans might not understand that "unconscious" (like "psychodynamic" and other Freud and/or Jung-derived terms) is a four letter word in the American model of psychology and psychiatry, which is now deeply imbedded in cognitive-neuroscientific and psycholinguistic theory. Lacan was ALL about the unconscious, and though I'm not at all well versed in non-American methods, I know Lacan had an entirely different view of the role of the "analyst." It was more about self-analysis than a professional "analyzing" and patient. Lacan did it himself, and tried to help his "patients" do the same. This involved almost no participation whatsoever, as there was no real explicit procedure to the therapeutic process as it would vary based on the individual's perceived ... uhh... "lack." "Lack" refers to the object of the treatment, I think... a missing piece of one's identity, around which their language developed. Diving into the "unconscious" helps the patient to identify his or her missing piece.... or... something. Clearly I'm getting away from myself here, but any reading I've done on this subject has been independent, as they didn't teach this particular kind of thing in my über-sciencey college and graduate programs. Yeah, dead_battery, you have access to some interesting stuff. I'd definitely be interested in experiencing Lacacian analysis. |

Thanks for posting that link, Slambang. This is fascinating stuff and I am woefully uninformed about it for a former would-be psychologist.
Though I actually knew plenty of professors (PhD and MD alike), who earned doctorates and professorships without ever getting more than a trivial run-through of Freudian theory. Surprising, but true. That's not what modern, APA science-dudes want to b associated with. I for one believe that it's a fascinating part of the history and evolution of mental health studies, and as such, should be part of the education of anyone deems an "expert" in such areas. |
