> No, not short term. Most people I know/talk to/have met as a patient and as a would-be therapist are in CBT, DBT, or some form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Or, at least, are treated with an eclectic approach--a little bit of maybe existential modalities, a little bit of CBT, some mindfulness, a sprinkling of what they deem useful from psychoanalysis or psychodynamics (a surface interpretation of transference). But the board right now for psychology is heavily populated by people in some form of psychodynamic therapy, or by people invested in it as a useful approach.

> So I was thinking a board called "Psychodynamic" (which fits right in with the pyschobabble moniker, and one for cognitive-behavioral/DBT, understanding that that can mean eclecticism too (as could psychodynamic--eclecticism is a flexible thing).I don't really hang out on the Psychology board that much. I hadn't realized that the majority of treatment protocols being used by people there were psychodynamic. I just thought that they were different varieties of interpersonal therapy (IPT). This is a bit of a revelation to me.
