Aquí es donde entro en barrena (como pollo sin cabeza) sobre temas en psicología que me acechan. No sé mucho pero espero poder aprender y contribuir algo.

There can never be a helpful depression treatment algorithm because depression is not a single condition.

Depression is most helpfully understood as the psychic equivalent of fever. Fever is a NON-SPECIFIC physiological response to an enormous range of underlying conditions, from the common cold to Ebola.

Likewise, depression is a NON-SPECIFIC psychological response to an enormous range of underlying causes which may be psychological, social, biological, or a complex interaction between them.

In other words, depression is an effect, not a cause. The DSM diagnosis is merely descriptive, not explanatory—and not as basis for treatment decisions. Algorithms that incorrectly assume the diagnosis “depression” defines the problem will always lead to poor care.

The “false self” is a core psychoanalytic concept, familiar to every psychoanalytic therapist.

Psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott coined the term 66 years ago. His work is widely read today and foundational to contemporary psychodynamic therapy.

I love B.F. Skinner. I keep the cumulative record next to Freud on my bookshelf. I find RFT is his most natural successor, and I am thankful it brought the unconscious to American Behaviorism. Alas, I had to read most passages 2-4 times to understand it 😂

I developed this theory with colleagues starting in the 1980s, and it became the scientific foundation for ACT. I want to explain it plainly, because it answers a question most people have never thought to ask: why does language create suffering?

Relational Frame Theory is a scientific account of how human language and thinking work. The core finding is that humans, uniquely among animals, learn to relate anything to anything else in an almost infinite number of ways: this is like that, this is better than that, this causes that, this is the opposite of that. This ability is what gives us science, art, and civilization. It also means we can never fully escape painful experiences by changing our environment, because any situation, any word, any sunset can trigger an entire network of connected meanings that brings pain back.

A dog can learn to avoid a hot stove by touching it once. A human being who has been hurt by someone named Michael can feel anxious meeting a new Michael who has done nothing wrong, simply because the name carries the relational network forward. That's RFT in action.

If your goal is to amplify personality pathology, definitely use AI for emotional support. I will guarantee the results.

[Wes, the Dadliest Catch @wfenza]

wtf is with everyone talking about their "nervous system" all of a sudden. Instead of "I feel anxious" its "my nervous system is dysregulated" or something. What is that?

Why AI “therapy” between sessions may feel helpful - but is quietly undermining real psychotherapy and change. 🧵

I am seeing more and more articles about how AI can be used to support patients between sessions. This is why this is a bad idea:

Ibai jamás se ha quejado de impuestos y me parece una fantasía el discurso que tiene porque realmente es lo que yo pienso, que no entiendo como alguien que antes no tenía nada y ahora todo, le jode pagar impuestos, no se puede ser más egoísta

🧵 Different personality styles struggle under different triggers:

Borderline: attachment loss

Narcissistic: image loss

Depressive: loss of love or moral/meaning failure

Obsessive: collapse of inner rules or chaos

Schizoid: invasion or engulfment

Quien quiera ser psicólogo, que estudie psicología.
Quien quiera ser psicólogo sanitario, que estudie el máster.
Quien quiera ser psicólogo clínico, que haga el pir, para aprender de clínica y trabajar en el sns.

El que quiera colarse o saltarse pasos, que se ponga a la fila.

Do therapists have sad eyes before they become therapists or does the job just do that to you

[Alberto Gimeno @albertogimenoPC]

- He estado "ausente" en sesiones de terapia o supervisión.
- Me he sentido perdido en más de una ocasión, incompetente o carente de habilidades.
- Me he castigado por lo anterior.

[Alberto Gimeno @albertogimenoPC]

Así que, aunque de esto no tengo números, os puedo decir que en 2024:

- He tenido malas sesiones.
- He tenido momentos desastrosos en sesión.
- He errado en algunas intervenciones.
- No he logrado ayudar a algunas personas. He tenido que derivar algún caso; otros han abandonado.

People: omg I can’t believe this is happening

People with anxiety: I thought this might happen

Nancy McWilliams on conflicting needs between supervisor and supervisee: “Supervisors want to feel useful; they want to have a sense of having added to the supervisee’s knowledge and skill. They feel good about themselves when they have offered something, taught something,

McWilliams: “Graduate programs tend to warn students not to overpathologize, but they rarely alert them to the dangers of
underpathologizing.”
