@LindaBerman4 "This book is a treasure: a memoir-like novel that captures an era, an ethos, and ...sensibility... in the 1960s." Nancy McWilliams Many books about transference and countertransference, but this one illustrates the depth of the connection. amzn.to/3LDRq7g

Many patients are so terrified of emotional intimacy that they are driven over and over again to provoke crises that allow them to distance with impunity. Nancy McWilliams #emotionalintimacy

amzn.to/3LDRq7g Part fiction, part memory, this book is intimate look at psychoanalysis through the eyes of a patient Rose Winer is having panic attacks about a man climbing in the window and raping her. It is based on my experience of being a patient who became analyst.

@PPSCNYC I don’t agree. I described the experience in my novel, Our Time is Up.

Psychoanalysis is a lived emotional experience. As such, it cannot be translated, recorded, explained, understood or told in words. It is what it is. —Thomas Ogden

@MarkLRuffalo And being able to accept and describe the feelings that are being engendered by the projective identification is an essential part of understanding the unconscious transference that is being acted out.

@proud_penelope If the therapist can help the patient understand what is under the anger, usually disappointment, frustration and hurt, it is possible to lessen the anger.

“Anger does not have to obliterate other experience.” - Robert Grossmark

@bitesizetherapy Psychiatrists do not get trained to listen, that is true. Psychoanalysts DO get trained in listening.

@BkCollegeAlumni Some of my most wonderful memories are teaching Sociology during those years. amzn.to/4dop5yG
