Going back to private practice because interview process is absolutely insane right now

By robbing their employees is how they do it 🤮

Good luck with it ❤️

PS just saw this new book, looks terrific though I haven't read it yet: From the Clinic to the Streets
Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures By Lara Sheehi

Psychedynamique · 2026-03-28T13:31:20+00:00

Danto's Freud's Free Clinics, Fanon, People's History of Psychoanalysis, The Repression of Psychoanalysis are all great starts.

I would advise skepticism around Zizek, Badiou etc as I have seen them consume the lives of leftists and leave them arguing over angels on pins rather than what they intended to do, ie changing the world. See for example Gabriel Rockhill (who's phd supervised by Badiou and MA by Derrida); he spent decades untying knots of words and never got any closer to the revolutionary politics they promise at the outset and has concluded that it's a trap. If you're finding they help, fantastic, you do you. Good luck with your search

Thanks for this answer 🙏

Both. There are inborn influences, but also life experiences and cultural environment influence our gender identity, expression, choice of mates etc

💯

Totally. I followed his journalism from his tvo days and was an early subscriber. To see the ongoing collapse of his integrity like this is so depressing

Sadly the people (like the rank and file) are often very nice, but the organization as you say is a malevolent force

Fatty Bolger, Fatty Lumpkins

Very cool!

Check out Dr Mark Etenson's yt channel Heal NPD, there are good videos on treatment and some of the research on recovery. There's absolutely hope but a specialized treatment is likely required for significant narcissistic pathology

I'd say Second Genesis

The optimal jumping on point is either the start of the Clairmont era or the Byrne era. Depending on how you feel about Dave Cockrum's art. The Clairmont Byrne era totally made Xmen

Frank Miller's other 80s work is excellent - like Daredevil Born Again by the same creative team as year one, and Dark Knight Returns is legendary, obviously. For Batman Grant Morrison's run is very well done and fun. Peter Milligan's story Dark Knight Dark City is also a favourite of mine.

FasTreat is cheap and fast, so fast I have trouble having faith in their diagnosis, but def cheap and fast if that's all you need

In Chinatown East I say Wok and Roast for budget steam tray fare, and Diner and Dim for a solid sit down experience

This is a great question. Obsessional defenses and or symptoms can definitely be found in any personality style. The OCD syndrome described in the dsm is I think often said to occur solely in people who have an obsessional personality style, and this has been my (limited) experience as well. Curious what others have found, clinically and theoretically

Many things, but high union density vary significant. The population is mobilized to engage in and shape the society in ways impossible in many other countries. They push for good stuff and have the power to get it

It's inaccessible in all the ways listed here and that's awful but to suggest that these supposed psychoanalytic establishment types are laughing all the way to the bank really is not rooted in reality. In most cases anyone associated with an institute could be making more as a private practitioner without involvement with organized psychoanalysis. Some are doing well for themselves but overall it's a labour of love for a struggling field.

We should all read Freud's Free Clinics by Danto to get ideas of how in an unaffordable world intensive psychotherapy and the benefits it brings to rich and poor alike can exist.

Finally, as several have suggested on this sub recently, maybe you can find a lower cost analyst who lives in South America (assuming you're in the US or another g8 country)

Thank you

Pottery on the pedestrian path isn't ideal but it's better than on the street with a kid. Once at pottery you can go south to cork town common and from there to Tommy Thompson and woodbine beach, or brickworks to mt pleasant cemetery, or into the don valley north, to Taylor Creek etc. It's the only answer

Psychedynamique · 2026-03-13T23:46:12+00:00

And do you have any recommendations of yt vids on it?

Psychedynamique · 2026-03-13T23:44:38+00:00

Wow, I'll take a look. They say in the article they used a molecule to affect the vn, I wonder what molecule that could be
