@JonathanShedler Likely various interpretations of your q. But in modality I practice (TFP) careful consideration of capacity to engage in process of analysis itself. i.e., 'conditions' of treatment via explicit 'contracting'. E.g., karger.com/Article/Abstra…

question for psychoanalytic twitter I'm leading a psychoanalytic case discussion group & apparently surprised people when I suggested a patient was not well suited to an analytic approach Can anyone recommend a paper discussing patient suitability for psychoanalytic treatment?

📚 New research - Fresh off the press! While people may typically think of pathological narcissism only in terms of how it impacts others, our findings support the notion of a "suffering self" driving these challenging behaviours. Read more here: rdcu.be/c4Kse

@JonathanShedler Wow - excited to hear there is a PDM-3 in development!

So I'm now working on editing and revising the chapter on personality patterns for the next edition of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-3). And I'd much rather be watching a movie.

Psychotherapy researchers tell us they follow the evidence. Scientific evidence tells us the real benefits of psychotherapy begin at about 6 months. So why do nearly all research studies focus on 8-12 week treatments? So much for following evidence. psychotherapynetworker.org/magazine/artic…

Our article highlights the presence of abusive and coercive controlling behaviours that can occur in relationships with individuals with pathological narcissism. Published in latest edition of Personality and Mental Health: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pm… #Narcissism #CoerciveControl

@kaylarsteele @JonathanShedler I was chatting to a clinical colleague the other day about this - Brief, supportive interventions (esp in crisis settings) can set the stage for future positive engagement in treatment but are not, in themselves, the treatment

@JonathanShedler I work in an acute adult mental health inpatient unit in a large hospital in Sydney and support that brief supportive encounters can be momentarily comforting, but do nothing to elicit change and can lead to worse outcomes in terms of therapeutic alliance, treatment adherence etc

I’ve seen acutely psychotic patients (in inpatient and emergency settings) calm down/feel better just from a brief interaction with a caring/empathic clinician. That doesn’t mean they got the treatment they required. It means they felt better in the moment.
