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 :-) Annette Taylor, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology University of San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
