At rise:A therapist and a patient are having a discussion in the therapist's office.<p> Therapist<br>From your phone call I get the impression that you want tocomplain about a previous therapy or to be precise a psychotherapyand more specifically a therapy with the designation talk therapy like psychoanalysis.<p> Patient<br>Actually I want to complain about three or four of them and alsocomplain about some talk therapists that I only saw once.TherapistBefore you go on I'd like you to know that as far as I am concernedmany talk therapists can be ineffective and unfortunately can sometimeseven do harm to patients. There are some good ones but you probablycouldn't afford one of them. I like to think of myself as one of the goodones. You're here because I like to help people like you who seemed to havehad a difficult time in therapy. In fact this is my mission in life.
