Episode notes
The Unshared Accident
- Robert Drozek hit a deer with his car on the way to a session with a long-term patient.
- He chose not to mention it, fearing the patient's self-centeredness would prevent empathy.
Therapist Neglect
- Therapists often feel disregarded by patients, mirroring how others experience them.
- Bringing these countertransference feelings into therapy can benefit the patient.
Ethics in Psychoanalysis
- Drozek views ethics as the interplay between behavior and motivation, not just rules.
- He suggests analyzing how patients and therapists impact each other's well-being and dignity.
