Westen (2002) discussed the importance of clear writing for assisting with clinical work. There is room for a more poetic style of writing, but I think the question is: Who is your audience? I don’t think clear language is a lesser form of psychoanalytic scholarship.

This is such a horrible story. Apparently a paranoid man interacted with Chat GPT 4, which seemed to reinforce his paranoia, and he killed his mother and himself. So tragic. I fear there will be many more stories like this.
