Summary:
This article is about a former psychodynamic therapy. This is an interesting article becuase the speaks on their inability to tell the "whole truth" when consulting a therapist. This was in fact the reason that the other guy gave up on therapy altogether.
Analysis: This kind of gives me interesting thoughts. It makes me think of the fact that there may be psychodynamic therapy patients that are still having therapy that do not tell the whole truth with the intentions of not being viewed as a bad person. This patient did this for 13 years and got nowhere. Now, thats sad.

ReplyDeleteI think all juniors can relate to this going into their junior year. I have so much anxiety just over grades and school its self.
really interesting idea that we can't even tell the whole truth to a therapist - i think it says something about how much one fears of being guilty or seen as less in someone else's eyes.
ReplyDeletePeople who go into therapy should know that they won't get anything out of it if they refuse to be completely open.
ReplyDeleteThat is the whole point of having a therapist so it is confusing that they wouldn't tell the "whole truth". -Julianne Swaykus 6
ReplyDeleteMatthew Homsher 9th- That's pointless, counterproductive, and a waste of money. They should just tell the truth. That way, at least they'll get what they paid for, and it might actually help. Besides, everything you say to a doctor is confidential by law.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't they tell them the whole truth. That's what therapists are for. It's a waste of money when you don't tell the truth because then you just have to keep paying money for appointments. -Kayleigh Smerud
ReplyDeleteI do understand why it is hard for patients to tell therapists the whole truth. It takes a while for people to get comfortable sharing their emotions to others, especially when they do not know the person very well.
