Well thanks, but it is more complicated than that... I have gotten a lot of conflicting indications as to how he really feels, which I am constantly trying to analyze, but what I think in the end is that he wants me to believe that he cares about me and whatnot, because that's his job, so the indications to that side are his professional side talking, while the indications that he hates me are his personal feelings inadvertently seeping through...
Also, by the way, I am seeing him once a week. The 2-3 weeks after my last mandatory session was just supposed to be a "follow-up" session, but then I started going once a week again after that.
Regarding the book you mentioned, "Attachments", I looked it up on Amazon.com and I couldn't tell if there was very much information about patient-therapist attachment. Is there? Problem is, my school's library doesn't seem to have it. I am already reading "In Session" and "Distancing", which the library does have (I am kind of disappointed in the latter, though, especially the advice directed at the patient!).
