> well, first, I would like a broader definition of 'psychotherapy.'

Do you mean with respect to the psycho in biopsychosocial? I was kinda (simplistically) thinking of three levels in a hierarcy like this

Social
Psychology
Biology

Supervenience... What is at the psychology level... Oh sh*t... Probably folk psychology and psychoanalysis and cognitive psychology. Those three I guess. But then you have the learning / behavioural people and where do they go on the hierarchy? We can add Behaviour (as that which is observed and dx'd)... Oh sh*t... I don't know.

I guess when I was talking about therapy I was talking about CBT as the one that has been studied fairly extensively experimentally. But sure other varieties of therapy too... Whether group therapy counts as therapy... Whether art therapy and recreational and occupational and physio count as therapy... Massage... Oh sh*t I don't know.

Hard to draw a line between mental and physical eh.

> Psychotherapy in the narrower sense is something I have a lot of problems with.

Because you had a reaction to a therapist or two?
Has that ever happended to you with a medication or two?

Hrm... I haven't read Synaptic Self. I read something else of his, though... Can't remember what. Keep getting him mixed up with Damasio... Something on emotions at any rate...

Sorry z I have to go to work.

Today is Friday.

I'm going to check in tonight.

I'm NOT drinking tonight

I'm WORKING.

I have to come say I'm doing that...

Okay?
