THE EFFICACY OF PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

January 12th, 2024: Dr. Christopher Deussing, Jenny Collard, Allison Whitmore, & Olumide Ajulo discussed the intersectionality & dialectical tensions between: (a) adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), (b) DBT-informed therapy, & (c) non-DBT therapy. Afterwards, there was Q & A.

Two articles were used to frame the discussion:

𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧: Trauma survivors, particularly those who have experienced early childhood #trauma, stand out in the clinical experience of many therapists as being among the most difficult patients to treat. These patients have particular patterns of relatedness, along with intense neediness & dependency which make them superb testers of the abilities of their #therapists. They often push therapists to examine the limits of their abilities & frequently force therapists to examine their own personal issues & ethics.

WOUNDED HEALERS

5/21/2024: Dr. Deussing (Dr. D) & his #podcast guest, Mia Cosco, discussed topics associated with #grief, grieving, #MentalHealth, & psychedelics.
_____

MIA'S STORY

In the tapestry of Mia Cara Cosco's life, the call to #adventure echoed with the #death of her #mother at the age of seven. Amidst these trials, her encounters with #psychedelics opened new realms of #perception and she co-founded the UBC #Psychedelic Society, fundraised for MAPS #Canada, volunteered for The Zendo Project, & visited Johns Hopkins’ #psilocybin laboratory while working in #VentureCapital. 

After #university, she started to consult with psychedelic & #wellness companies on #marketing #strategy — which she still does to this day.

Over the tumultuous backdrop of the #COVID19 era, something died within Mia — the necessity to prove herself in predefined roles. Instead, a #rebirth beckoned, and she embraced her true #essence as an #author. In this #metamorphosis, Mia is #writing a #book serving a profound #exploration of #loss, psychedelics, & the #beauty woven into the fabric of grief.

ABSTRACT: Psychoanalytic theory has been criticized for decontextualizing individual development. While recognizing the historical neglect of sociocultural context in psychoanalytic theory, this article raises attention to psychoanalytic contributions to the exploration of sociocultural issues in psychotherapy & calls for a systematic inclusion of cultural competence as a core area of emphasis of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The article includes a brief review of #culturalcompetence in professional #psychology, and both a critique of psychoanalysis regarding the neglect of sociocultural context in #therapy & a discussion of psychoanalytic contributions to a complex understanding of #sociocultural issues in psychotherapy. Specific approaches to cultural competence that extend existing psychoanalytic theory concerning sociocultural context are presented. These include the recognition of historical #trauma & neglect of sociocultural issues, indigenous cultural narratives, role of context in the use of language and expression of affect, influence of experiences of social oppression & stereotypes on therapeutic process & outcome, and the dynamic nature of cultural identifications.

CULTURAL COMPETENCE AS A CORE EMPHASIS OF PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

7/9/2024: Dr. Deussing (Dr. D) & his podcast guest, Lacey White, explored topics including: (a) #psychedelic #therapy through an Eastern versus Western lens, (b) digital toxicity, (c) unclenched minds, (d) the importance of #play & "silly #spirituality", (e) how algorithms can be sociopathic, (f) the "void" of grief, and (g) our duty to slow down to show up as #human "beings" ... not human "doings."

CITATION: Tosone, C. (2005). The guijin #therapist & the nature of therapeutic truth: A relational perspective. Clinical #SocialWork Journal, 33, 9-19.

ABSTRACT: The professional literature is replete with examples of the benefits of the client–clinician dyad being of the same ethnic group. Noted advantages include a perceived implicit understanding of the client’s subjective experience & a furthering of the therapist’s personal & professional #growth as a result of the therapeutic interaction. This paper suggests that there are also benefits to the clinician being considered a "Guijin" or “outsider” to the client’s #culture of origin. Utilizing a #relational perspective with an emphasis on multiple self-state theory, this paper will discuss the advantages of being perceived as an outsider when working with an Asian bicultural client.

THE GUIJIN THERAPIST & THE NATURE OF THERAPEUTIC TRUTH

The 20th episode of Dr. Deussing's podcast — "THE TALKING CURE with DR. D" — featured his THERAPY READING GROUP discussing Dr. Jonathan Shedler's brilliant article: "THE PERSONALITY SYNDROMES." Among the topics discussed were: (a) how #personality syndromes exist on a spectrum from healthy functioning to severely disturbed, (b) how comprehending personality syndromes requires an understanding of inner conflicts, defenses & motives, (c) the dialectic of art vs. science in treating various personality presentations, (d) how each personality syndrome is a distinct pathway to depression & requires a different treatment focus, (e) the importance of distinguishing normative narcissism from malignant narcissism, and (f) the advantages of marrying #psychology & #sociology. 🤔

𝘼𝘽𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏: The author considers the role of #shame & the response to it, which she describes as self-protective avoidance of relationship, in the development of a schizoid process.

The author shows how this position helps clarify the #existential foundations theorists can use to understand both dysfunctional experiences & the healthy development of human #potential.

ROLLO MAY'S CRITICAL POSITION IN PSYCHOLOGY

CITATION: Holmes, L. (2020). 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴. In Women & psychoanalysis: The collected papers of Lucy Holmes, pp. 179–185, Routledge.

ABSTRACT: This chapter investigates the way in which “The Talking Cure” creates new emotional & cognitive pathways in the brain. This is explored through case studies & from a theoretical vantage point. Freud & other early analysts understood that #talking in #psychoanalysis is profoundly therapeutic, but recent developments in #neuroscience illuminate exactly why free association can literally change the structure of the #brain. Converting primitive impulses into words in #therapy strengthens the influence of the cerebral cortex over the more primitive parts of the brain. Putting impulses of sex & aggression into words instead of acting them out in destructive ways enables human beings to gain more control of their repetition compulsions & live more satisfying lives.

He develops the notion of “character armor” — the habitual gestures, speech patterns & emotional postures that defend against unconscious impulses. By metabolizing these resistances, #therapy reaches repressed affect more effectively. This approach situates #psychoanalysis as a systematic method for working through defenses & transforming neurotic #personality structures.

We explore what it means to live authentically, the role of balance in navigating life transitions & the courage it takes to confront one’s “shadow self.” Savannah shares her journey as a therapist & YouTube creator, reflecting on self-acceptance, #spirituality, and #Stoicism lessons on mortality & meaning. Together, we discuss cherishing the everyday, aligning with #intuition & finding community as wounded healers. 💚
