>I am sorry if you see my venting as some personal deficit of understanding people.
not at all! I am only recently learning these things, and I believe that there is always more I can learn. I learn lots by reading things on babble, and I was trying to help. One thing I'm working on, for example is when I should give people space to vent, and when it's more helpful to offer suggestions. Hard to gauge using text alone. however.
>geeze, everything doesn't' always need to be intellectualized
That's actually the reason why I like these two approaches-- they are hardly theoretical, and very practical. I've worked with 14-year-old addicts who were able to make a bit of headway. One of my weaknesses is the urge to nerdify everything, but this is a good antidote to getting into contemporary Kleinian object relations theory, for example...
