This sounds awful. Is there any alternative form of therapy that could help?
I thought the whole point of therapy was to resolve issues (or deal with them) rather than create new ones :)
I did a residential counselling course a few years ago - and very soon realised that the sort of people who want to train to be counsellors are the very people who need a LOT of help themselves. By the end of the course it felt like I had been locked in some sort of asylum. Very stressful.
Maybe this analyst is using his patients to work through his own frustrations.
It does sound like it's turning into a bit of a power game.

I'm not sure, but I'm intending to hunt around. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) if it's on offer- my options are limited by the NHS or alternatively my success with finding something cheap enough for me to be able to afford.
I think (hope) there may be more places dealing with war-trauma now than when I was last looking in 2000.

So did I- but clearly it was short-sighted and naive of me. ;)

That's what I'm afraid of although I'm hoping that I am mis-reading him.
On a completely different note, would you still be up for going to see The Saddest Music tomorrow? And if so, meeting up when and where?
Psychoanalysis seems to have less merit than most religions.
Except maybe scientology;)
Oh to invent a form of psychological treatment based on herion fuelled dreams. Applyung the truism of universality, it's clear freud should have kept the fact he fancied his mum to himself instead of projecting it.
Prescription: Simply apply one heavy lump hammer with exuberance to the cranium until the analyst takes up a rational form of interpretation.

Sometimes in therapy I would get worked up...but not do anything with it.Cause I was thinking way too much.
Hmmm..dammit, I'm rambling. And talking on my favorite subject....
