A “developmental lag” persists in the translation of Freud’s structural theory into psychodynamic clinical technique, but Habib Davanloo’s pathways of anxiety discharge are a useful conceptual tool for detecting Freud’s signal anxiety. #AmJPsychotherapy bit.ly/4iRY73L

Enjoying my last weekend before the fall of the republic. I am reminded of Senator Gracchus, who said, “The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it's the sand of the Colosseum. He'll bring them death and they will love him for it.”

Exactly what insurers want. If you’re not sure they’ll cover a costly procedure or admission, avoid the care you need and the insurer continues to collect your premiums. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...

Leaving Aruba and headed home, thinking to myself, “I should read an ISTDP article on the plane.” That’s a sign of a good vacation.

I have an idea for the pending Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) - unisex bathrooms at the Capitol. You know, Ally McBeal style.

Seems like a good use of AI, but it does make me wonder if diagnostic skill is correlated with how much time a provider has with their patient. I can see insurers cutting reimbursement rates further if they think they can get away with it.
