> It's sweeping, yes, but I took it to mean that no study has shown psychoanalysis to be effective for any particular diagnosis, not that psychoanalysis has never helped any individual.>You could take it that way if read in isolation. However, this poster has repeatedly posted negative things about analysis. When read in context of the other posts it become clear that the poster believes analysis does not help any individual. After the first negative post I replied that my analysis has been of great benefit to me, and the poster answered that the change I have experienced as the result of my work could be explained simply by the passage of time. The poster used this same explanation "time heals all wounds" to another poster about results gained by a different type of treatment. It is clear to me that this poster thinks most therapies are of no use to individuals. The exception would be CBT, which the poster apparently thinks is effective.
