Whichever Stack Sullivan it is I read an account of therapy by (I thought) Harry Stack Sullivan ages back. I guess it might have been from as early as the late 30s. I was very impressed. He worked with people described as psychotic and was weirdly empathic. Which is what you want, what I want anyway...a shaman rather than a technocrat, a witchdoctor, a spiritual healer, not some rationalist dude. I can't remember accurately, but by the third (at the latest) session I felt cracked right open (no doubt ready to crack) otherwise I wouldn't have kept at it for so long. We love to feel vulnerable (and cared for). Except ye become as little children?
