I suppose the following posts (among others) led me to think he was anti-therapy - except perhaps for brief CBT therapy. I didn't get the feeling he was asking for reassurances that therapy might help, since he specifically told posters that he doubted that any gains they made were from therapy. But I could be mistaken and maybe he has a deep seated desire for interpersonal connection and a meaningful therapeutic relationship and is merely disappointed that he hasn't been able to achieve what so many other people get so much benefit from. I certainly wouldn't want to leap to any conclusions.

particularly "Because relatively short term therapies are the only ones demonstrated to help Dep. Psychoanalysis has never been shown to help any condition, with the exception of the therapists bank account."And as I said, I'd tend to agree about his pain. And I'm sorry for it. My wish for him would be that he be able to achieve the sort of healing therapeutic relationship that so many of us have found so helpful. And maybe a process group....
