Hi Dr. Bob and administrators,
Is it possible to have two psychology boards? One for people in psychodynamic therapy and one for people in other types of therapy? I find that the experiences on the psychology board are the reverse of real-world psychology: many people who post there are in psychoanalysis, as opposed to the main way(s) therapy is practiced in the US, which is usually decidedly not psychoanalysis. In saying this, I am not trying to offend anyone in psychoanalysis (I feel grrrrrr angry about some of the practices of psychoanlaysts, and the way they bandy about words like "psychosis", when they mean something other than most psychologists and psychiatrists mean by it, but I absolutely want the best people who choose to go into analysis, and I do hope it works out for them).
I guess what I am saying is that I want a place to share and talk about therapy and psychology, but I feel completely at odds with what people talk about when they talk about their therapy experiences.
Thanks,
Amelia
