Psychiatry Without Exposure to Psychobabble?

Posted by jojo on July 20, 2001, at 14:06:39

Is it possible to effectively practice Psychiatry or Clinical Psychology without browsing through Psychobabble for at least half an hour. I have recommended it to at least three professionals, but I doubt that any of them "had the time", or the interest, to look at it. One of them, a Psychoanalyst, actually laughed and said 'Did I think that her patients were not telling her everything'. Of another Psychoanalyst, who had a similar attitude, I asked "How many patients have said to you "I just farted"? He said one or two. If, out of the hundreds of patients he has seen, only two "admitted" to having just passed wind, then it is obvious that they are not saying all the thoughts that are passing through their minds.
These are not "students of the mind", with the intellectual curiosity to see what patients are saying "in
private": These are DOCTORS (and damn proud of it), who practice what they were taught, and are not interested in learning from their patients.
