Tell me you don't understand what transference is without telling me Tell me you don't understand how psychotherapy works without telling me
I need you all to understand how incredible Winnicott was #psychoanalysis
There still needs to be more clarity regarding the revised HRA under the UGC fellowship schemes. Strangely no circular or official notification is available anywhere. Scholars/Nodal officers have yet to receive a proper update. Please help the scholars! @ugc_india @EduMinOfIndia
This is a great Q. Lemme try to answer in a brief thread. 1. Try not to think so much about WHAT to do or say (though you do have to think about it a bit obv.) Rather, think about what does this mean, what is going on in this person’s mind as a response to their life.

Re: #CBT and #psychodynamic #psychotherapy and #psychoanalysis
Saw an online therapy advertisement which said "we are 100% judgment free". Therapy bech rahe hain ya toothpaste?
Have been accepted as a fellow at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis for its 2023 fellowship. Will be remotely attending the program centering around the foundational principles of anaytic thinking and its place in our therapeutic work.
Was recently told by a prof. to check the "treatment guidelines" before considering psychodynamic therapy for obsessionality (& it can be a contraindction which it is not. Pt had h/o attachment injuries and trauma). I wanted to argue further but was sadly sitting in a viva. Sigh.
@toymango Empathy is not about trying to walk in the other person's shoes; it's rather asking ourselves why they don't fit us in the first place.
The therapist urge to say "I wonder what this means..."
The therapist urge to say "...and how does that make you feel."
The therapist urge to say "how about we try something different today."
This is a reactionary post after a heavy day at a tertiary mental healthcare setting but all I want to say is: Please don't have children if you are going to hit them. Those who have children, please for god's sake, stop hitting them. You are making it worse for all of us.

The "common factors" of #psychotherapy used to be grossly underappreciated, but the pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction. Psychotherapy technique matters. For some problems, it is the essential ingredient without which treatment would fail miserably.
