In reply to Anybody else do therapy thats not CBT/cognitive?, posted by nickguy on July 30, 2007, at 21:22:26
Sure; my therapist/pdoc is a psychiatrist trained in psychanalysis, and since he trained in Chicago, I think he is mostly out of the self-psychology tradition. I chided him about this, and though he did not respond except to say he guessed I would figure it out, I am pretty sure as when I was in grad school in Chicago, this is what I was taught in my advanced psychoanalytic class.
I was trained as a postdoc primarily in ego psychology/object relations (ala Kernberg) who used to be director of the hospital where I trained. My husband is an Adlerian, and I have colleagues who trained to be Jungian analysts. If it works for you, go with it. I personally for obvious reasons would not like for someone to do CBT with me. Throughing in a dash of it here and there with the analytic aPproach is okay.
Do you have a concern about this approach? There are others here as well who have analysts for therapists.
