For you clinical types from an experimental type:
(1)     I was telling my students how lengthy, intensely and VERY costly 
psychoanalysis and how unlikely it is therefore, to be covered by insurance or 
HMOs. They, thus, want to know why all the graphics in their book and in my 
overheads (which come from varied textbook websites) all show psychoanalysis the 
second most popular type of psychotherapy, at 25% (eclectic comes in at around 
32% and behavioral at 15%, cog-beh at 12%, client-centered arond 8% and the rest 
for others). 

(2)      are patients/clients more likely to "fall in love with" their 
therapists if they have a psychoanalytic perspective, given the emphasis on 
transference.

(3)     are there more lawsuits against psychoanalytic therapists for 
"recovered" false memories, given the emphasis on trying to 'reconstruct' one's 
very early childhod? If not, is there a particular approach to psychotherapy 
that is more prone to lawsuits and why?

Thank you tipsters, for your collective wisdom


And Happy Holidays! (if you can be happy while still grading papers, writing 
finals, etc., etc., the stress of 'visiting relatives'....oh if only this 3-week 
old headache would go AWAY)

still smiling, Annette :-)
