I am not a therapist; however, it occurred to me that the therapist must always have a part of their brain allocated to analysing themselves at the same time as analysing the client. Not an easy task. Could this be what makes a successful psychoanalyst?

Great scholar

Therapists really love talking about therapy. Given that psychotherapy has so many contradictory schools and theories, it baffles me that any patient who rejects a form a therapy can be labelled as resistant, difficult etc. Some therapies are provoking, detrimental and side step informed consent. The avoidance of discussing harm in therapy illustrates the self-serving nature of professionals and the devaluation of people, who place trust in people obsessed with theory and their reputation. I was pleased to see some acknowledgement by the speaker that the patient is the expert in knowing what it is like to be them. It's just surprising that, as I said, so little is written on harmful therapies (beyond clear boundary violation).

It's not always the therapists though, some times it is really the patient that is intentionally resisting the therapy. People with BPD are known to do this as well as NPD. At the end of the day it is the patient that is responsible for their treatments. The therapists just facilitates them and work with the patient.

@@MrMattias87 ​ @MrMattias87 People with BPD. I@m sorry to so your labels are dangerous more than helpful. You blame failures on patients while avoiding research into the processes and approaches. Rejecting a therapist is not resistance. If the therapist says othing to expalin what is going on i think everyone should run to a therapist who is willing to treat their curiosity and concerns with respect. Saying it's not for everyone is what is said on porn sets to pressure women to finish viiolent sex scenes...... classy. 0000

@@MrMattias87 I should have said I've spent five years trying to figure out what my "therapy" was because I carry a sense of failure at something I didn't understand and wasn't explained to me. I just don't understand how a person lost in a power game set up by the therapist can be soley left to carry so much failure.

@@MrMattias87 The patient is not responsible for their treatment, the therapist is. Where did you get the notion that the patient is responsible for their treatment? What would they need the therapist for then?

Thanks for posting this Dr Gabbard inspiring talk, reminding us the essentials of the work.

Great presentation Even as a layman, I learned a lot.

About halfway through and learning a lot, but not getting over how this speech opened with a story about a teenager accused of "failure to launch" and that it was so bad that he got (forcibly?) hospitalized, when in 2021 not having a job/direction at age 19 is probably the most normal thing in the world. I don't think many parents today would be willing to pay to have their kid put in in-patient care because the kid wakes up kinda late. "My teenage son is waking up after... 9am! and he can't find a job! he's clearly a danger to society!"... just seems like another planet.

The sheer disrespect... to go into the kid's hospital room and stay there when the poor kid is clearly uncomfortable with the situation. Maybe try explaining yourself and siding with him instead of waiting for him to risk speaking to you, that could have saved 4 months.

Thanks professor gabbard. Its was a great and very helpful speech.

Fantastic talk

This guy gets the more than often problem of "somebody just not wanting to do something." No matter how skilled you are. I can get along with that. As a mental heathcare major I can respect the hell out of that. Patience beats stubbornness

More importantly, he gets the problem of somebody just wanting to “do something”.

It's forced 'therapy' like ECT that makes patients 'difficult'. How can you expect compliance from people who have no choice?

Love it

Ikr. "I don't like this patient, ooh how interesting he's recreated the major internal object relationship in his life". Takes no responsibility for what he brings to the interaction whatsoever.

Difficult as in non compliant?

I would have read the journals to him. Drive him nuts.

Beware if the patient is doing everything right, because you might have some trouble. And who is here acting suspicious/paranoid now..?

Dr. Gabbard has strong resemblance to Ian Richardson (the British actor)

Sympathising with the therapist's challenging situation

I should not want him for a therapist, he shoyuld have contempleated about me instead of just trying to get me out of bed and then just sitting reading the newspaper on my appointment. Have some self-critique: What may be the reason for the patient's not want to come? How much has this man healed himself ? Confidence-evoking and Healing need warmth, calming, mature, emotional.

“Difficult patient” is a rude and stigmatising term.
