@TheModernNCPsyA "... this brilliant novel/memoir really evokes what it's like to be a patient/what it's like to be a therapist. I laughed/I cried/I learned. . . Must read." Our Time is Up

@_psychiara@JayceLong Sometimes feeling ignorant and incompetent is the key to understanding negative transference OR the patient's experience ofwith a significant other. https://t.co/fZfL1UKFM3
@LindaBerman4 "This book is a treasure: a memoir-like novel that captures an era, an ethos, and ...sensibility... in the 1960s." Nancy McWilliams

https://t.co/Nu9oNK1lwD Part fiction, part memory, this book is intimate look at psychoanalysis through the eyes of a patient Rose Winer is having panic attacks about a man climbing in the window and raping her. It is based on my experience of being a patient who became analyst.
@jen_harlan@nytimesbooks Take a look at Our Time is Up. Part fiction, part memory, it's an intimate look at psychoanalysis through the eyes of Rose Winer who is having panic attacks about a man climbing in window and raping her. Based on author's experience of being patient who became an analyst.
@bitesizetherapy Yes, the problem is that the analyst has to have that understanding and communicate it to the patient in a way that can be understood in the midst of strong feelings for both of them.
@MarkLRuffalo And being able to accept and describe the feelings that are being engendered by the projective identification is an essential part of understanding the unconscious transference that is being acted out.
@proud_penelope If the therapist can help the patient understand what is under the anger, usually disappointment, frustration and hurt, it is possible to lessen the anger.
