"The trouble with therapy speak is it colludes with the defences—the sides of the person that don't want to change, that want to speak *as if* we are in the business of examining ourselves & self-reflecting—without actually doing it"

🧵1) Allan Scholom wrote a brilliant chapter in our recent book from @routledgemh called "The psycho-politics of evidence-based practice."

We ought to be wary and critical anytime we see the "evidence based practice" (EBP) label parading around our field for many reasons:

I'm no expert (by any means) on psychodynamic / psychoanalytic thinking, but I'm enjoying this introductory podcast very much. Strikes me as a clear and engaging explanation of the core concepts. @LiveUnconscious

“The popular understanding of narcissism is that someone loves themselves a bit too much. In psychoanalysis, it’s quite the opposite. It’s the consequence of inadequate recognition in childhood and a defensive compensation for not feeling loved enough…” https://t.co/bIJ7ndU9ql

1/ I'm so sick & tired of academic psychologists/ psychiatrists claiming a therapy is "effective" because research trials show it's better than DOING NOTHING (eg, waitlist control)

Without even bothering to consider whether anyone actually GETS WELL (for the therapies that

I like Jung’s perspective on inferior and superior competencies.

It’s basically like handedness.

You don’t give yourself a hard time for not being as great with your less dominant hand. You accept it. You can develop it, but your dominant hand will always be superior.

#Qualitative Peeps. From my very little playing around with it, it seems that AI can fundamentally impact qualitative data analysis and coding. If you or someone you know has used it systematically in qual analysis (or written about it), will you let me know?

1/ I'm often asked about evidence for psychodynamic therapy so I'm putting it in a tweet for whoever wants it

In 2010, I published "The efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy," which put psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic therapy on the map as evidence-based therapy. It reviewed the

The psychological virtues of the neoliberal era:
'Resilience' is a sneaky neoliberal trope. It frames, as a psychological virtue, painful endurance of circumstances from which others benefit at your expense.

(8/8) If we only measure therapy by symptom reduction, we ignore the greatest healing powers in therapies of depth, insight, and relationship: "the positive presence of inner capacities and resources that allow people to live life with a greater sense of freedom and possibility."
