Nathan S. Kline in 1956, writing about the now common practice of ghostwriting: "It is certainly below professional dignity to have the pharmaceutical house write the article, to which the investigator merely affixes his signature."

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.

"Gradually, I realized I was on the edge of a complete breakdown myself.... I had to escape." He asked a colleague to take over the case, and he left town for two or three months. Rogers' family considered this episode a serious nervous breakdown.
sessions per week were not enough, and she began going to his house in the mornings to sit on his doorstep. She demanded warmth and acceptance and became hostile if Rogers seemed less than accepting. He wrote that her hostility "completely pierced my defenses" and that...

My analyst told me a story today of Otto Kernberg being totally devalued and trashed by a borderline patient in a corridor in New York Hospital. Kernberg's colleagues were watching, and he later expressed great embarrassment over the whole thing. It resonated.

@JordanDB_SW @MarkLRuffalo Thanks for listening! We’re glad you enjoyed it.
Unlicensed TikTok content creators whose content can be described as psychoeducation for DSM-5-TR mental disorders from people claiming to have those mental disorders based on their self-diagnosis. Charlatans spewing iatrogenic “psycho-(mis)education” playing on well known…
I found myself feeling special whenever my analyst self-disclosed about his family. Others feel enraged. What determines the nature of this response?
@MarkLRuffalo I enjoyed this paper but find myself wanting a case study of how therapy helps with schizophrenia. There should be a play or movie about it like In Treatment. Unfortunately, that therapist in that show never treats a schizophrenic or schizotypal.
Great article!
In this recent paper in Psychiatry and Clinical Psychopharmacology, I review the psychotherapy of schizophrenia, including psychodynamic approaches, which I contend are effective and significantly underutilized forms of treatment. psychiatry-psychopharmacology.com/en/the-psychot…

@MarkLRuffalo @canadahiker Treating psych problems you don’t understand can be dangerous for the therapist as well as the client.
