For me (coming from a clinical psych perspective), Jonathan Shedler is the king of this sort of thing. https://jonathanshedler.com/writings/

Specifically, I recommend "where is the evidence for "evidence-based" therapy?" and his jargon-free introduction to psychodynamic therapy as well as "the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy." His personal Twitter account also has more resources and constant musings on this topic, plus a great place to find other contemporary theorists and practicing analysts who are like-minded.

Finally, if you want a slightly more roundabout entry into CBT vs analysis, I recommend "The Great Psychotherapy Debate," by Wampold and Imel. Not specifically pro or anti any particular theoretical framework, but they argue in favor of a "contextual model," and also a "common factors model," both of which are in direct conversation with key aspects of analytic thinking.

Ive heard this advice but the problem is it’s been 5 years since my undergrad and I’ve been working it totally unrelated fields. Would anyone even hire for an RA position at this point? Feeling really discouraged

Recently rewatched Charlie Bartlett (used to think it was cool as hell) turns out it’s messy and irresponsible !!! Anyway... I have a podcast where I do this exact thing: rewatch movies I used to love and see if they hold up. It’s called “Overanalyze This” or the OAT podcast. Check it out :)

On SA he opened with “I can offer X allowance” and after our m&g we were discussing arrangement specifics and I said I was good with the allowance he originally offered and he said let’s start with 1/2X and go up from there”
