The refusal to fit into neat categories is what gives psychoanalysis its edge, its astute capacity for reflection and critique. But it also creates an uncomfortable tension and anxiety that is too often handled by splitting. - Aron & Starr
Experienced clinicians often say that what happens in the first session will appear throughout the treatment. This is true for all early encounters, so watch opening gambits carefully. How we begin tells us how things will go or end, whether we are aware of it or not.
I sometimes find myself using concepts differently from others in my stable. Vide: "transference"(T) and "countertransference"(CT). Thus as I use the term, T is more a matter of a *certain class* of habitual, distorting, fearful or idealising habits of relating to another.🧵

They do not love their neighbor, but they want what is his. - S/RE, p. 542
In splitting, contradictory aspects of the self and other are compartmentalized in such a way that they remain unintegrated and do not create conflict. Thus, someone who uses splitting can engage in diametrically opposed behaviors without being conflicted about them. - G. Gabbard
@MarkLRuffalo True, many clinicians (both psychiatrists and therapists) are very skeptical about psychotherapy in schizophrenia. But many patients need it, and benefit from the intervention.
New depression overview article covers - 5 biological - 1 social/environmental, and - 0 psychological hypotheses for depression. Really disheartening to see such one-sided “overview” of a multifaceted collection of biopsychosocial mental health problems.

The best psychotherapy is developmental, not corrective
It is obvious that the only interesting people are interested people, and to be completely interested is to have forgotten about “I."~Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity
All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will transmit it to those around us.~Richard Rohr
Behold, my master and my brother, they do not love me, but they long for you with greed, for they also crave their neighbor's possessions. - S/RE, p. 542

I have been sensitive all my life to how men construe women, especially the tone in which they depict us…I have come to understand respect as an attitude of openness to learning from someone else. - Nancy McWilliams
@brendenslab Ideally, we learn to use our baggage constructively. That’s one reason serious psychotherapists spend years in their own psychoanalysis or psychotherapy
How do you justify prescribing 14 different medications to a person? At the same time... A couple of antidepressants, 2 benzos, blood pressure medication, pain medication, mood stabilizer, and more... This is someone who's life is ruined by their psychiatrist. It should be…
Name one thing a philosopher has said or argued for, in the last 30 years, that has improved treatment of psychological problems. Not saying it can’t be done. Curious about answers.
Psychotherapy is highly skilled labour that's been devalued - 🧵 Devalued labour is always a result of many complex variables, but psychotherapy skill is unique for two reasons 1) Visibility 2) Social Conditions
“There are things men can do to one another that are sobering to the soul. It is one thing to reconcile these things with God, but another to square it with yourself.” — Robert Leckie

@robwipond Deeply flawed, and corrupt. The leaked report reveals that: At least 137 women died between 2022 and 2023 while under the care of services for pregnant women at one unnamed trust. Nearly one in 10 of the patients treated by a crisis service – died while under that care. And, <…
A staggering 15,000 people died in 1 year in "care" of community mental health services in UK. No tracking of this in US or Canada, but we've no reason to believe it's not equally bad. Expand & fund more? Or are these oft-coercive services deeply flawed? independent.co.uk/news/health/nh…
Dear journalists, Not sure if you're interested in tips at this point, but just so you know: One of the main radical leaders of the illegal pro-Hamas encampment at @Columbia was suspended from campus 4 weeks ago for bringing in a terrorist for a "Resistance 101" teach-in. The…
@PGtzsche1 We've all seen neuroleptics and dopaminergics......I had a cl with a movement disorder, so they gave him L-dopa, then the psychosis set in so they gave him an anti-psychotic......so the movement disorder came back......wheels within wheels.
A critical psychiatrist told me that some of his colleagues prescribe Ritalin, which increases dopamine, and also a neuroleptic, which decreases dopamine, to the same patients. Do these psychiatrists also drive their car by pressing the speed and brake pedal at the same time?
@PGtzsche1 It's almost standard Peter. Start the tricky kid on Ritalin; if still playing up a while on, add Risperdal etc. I've made the same point repeatedly over the years.
@APsychiatrist2 Compulsive caregiving as a defense from looking inward.
For the compulsively caring therapist who desperately holds the dead mother at bay, the patient who does not get better represents the fear of the re emergence of the dead mother and the re- traumatisation of the therapist. The feelings are inherently primitive and visceral.

I’ve said it before, but I love psychiatry ads from back in the day. No chemical imbalance BS. Just “your life sucks. Buy our drugs.”
That this is the very kind of thing he feels is so painfully lacking in himself." - Searles
"If the patient is very troubled as to whether he himself is able to feel, and if his therapist is, at the same time, very caught up in being warmly supportive and giving, it does tend to very painfully highlight the patient's feelings that he himself is incapable of this....
Patients want to be able to talk about themselves without being judged. It may be tough for them to trust that a therapist could create safety, but it is never-the-less our work to do so.
The refusal to fit into neat categories is what gives psychoanalysis its edge, its astute capacity for reflection and critique. But it also creates an uncomfortable tension and anxiety that is too often handled by splitting. - Aron & Starr
@bitesizetherapy I’m constantly amazed how those initial meetings remain significant and find new meaning as treatment moves forward. At the time, you don’t always know why certain responses and behaviors strike you, but you almost always eventually do.
Experienced clinicians often say that what happens in the first session will appear throughout the treatment. This is true for all early encounters, so watch opening gambits carefully. How we begin tells us how things will go or end, whether we are aware of it or not.
@MarkLRuffalo The most interesting part in some ways is where he talks about this dynamic in therapy...
