Freud Had A Gene For Inefficiency, And

The Trouble With Most Therapy Is That It Helps You Feel Better. But You Don't Get Better. You Have To Back It Up With Action, Action, Action.

Most People Would Have Given Up When Faced With All The Criticism I've Received Over The Years.

Freudian Therapists Do A Lot Of Listening And Very Little Persuading, And That Was One Of The Reasons I Eventually Gave Up Being An Analyst. You Had To Be Too Passive And Not Speak Up, And You Couldn't Give Homework To Clients. While I Was Still An Analyst, I Wrote Several Articles Criticizing Psychoanalysis, But The Analysts Weren't Listening To My Objections. So I Finally Quit Psychoanalysis After Practicing It For Six Years.

By Honestly Acknowledging Your Past Errors, But Never Damning Yourself For Them, You Can Learn To Use Your Past For Your Own Future Benefit.

I Think The Future Of Psychotherapy And Psychology Is In The School System. We Need To Teach Every Child How To Rarely Seriously Disturb Himself Or Herself And How To Overcome Disturbance When It Occurs. In That Sense, Psychotherapy Belongs In The Schools.
