Thank you for this wonderful video :) What a crisp description of ‘the art of knowing when to disclose aspects of your own history to a patient’ - to share for the benefit of a patient, and never in seeking to feel understood yourself, seems like an admirable, deep, centred quietness. Raising a patient, what an incredibly noble line of work! ^_^
Very clarifying. I have been following the questions on Quora, an American question and answer website and a lot of the questions reflect the relationship between patient and therapist. One big issue is a disconnect between expectation and actual therapist behavior. The patient .wants to know whether it's "okay" to react to that real therapist the way he does. You're saying what should be said and correcting an error that seems pervasive in American training.
Not everyone is interested in psychoanalysis, nor is psychoanalysis appropriate for everyone. Those who seek out a full analysis could probably do it themselves, if taught a useful process. Ideally, psychoanalysis is best for those who struggle with a neurosis in one form or another. I truly do not know if those who struggle with Type 2 personality disorders, primarily, would be good candidates. Why is it that there are no comparative studies done on patients or clients successfully treated through psychoanalysis; Traditional vs Relational vs Freudian approaches vs Jungian? Or any variations of happy, well functioning adults who have been healed? And who feel transformed through many years of analytical work? I would think everyone would be interested in such a study. My question is: why do such individuals refuse to share their transformative experiences?

Beyond Freud. Winnicott's accomodating approach to building therapeutic relationship. Disclosure - when, why and caution.
