OP, if this is a troll, my hats off to u, u are a genuine artiste....

But if its real... my God... I haven't seen a filtering this brutal since the great flood.... I mean, it has everything... projection, ignorance, lack of awareness, total inability to grasp the material....

...Its breathtaking...

I hope to see many more of your posts on here OP. Don't hold back!

cbt posits that you can reason yourself out of a pathological emotional state.

it works only in mild cases and usually leads to the client coming back to therapy later on because the bandaid of cbt didn't address the root of the problem, "core beliefs" notwithstanding.

it is popular for 2 reasons:

1. It claims to solve the problem in about 6-12 sessions, so HMOs love that they don't have to pay for long term care.

2. Its relatively simple and straight forward technique is easy to teach and so professional psychology schools can churn out new therapists every year, about half of whom are bored housewives and wouldn't want to undertake rigorous, nebulous psychoanalytical training anyway.

basically, it appeals to 2 very american instincts: the quick, easy fix, and that man is an automaton.

And statistically, cbt seems to be losing some of its efficacy, just like psych meds have over the last decade or so.

Freud is ok, but if you really want to study man, move on to Jung and then Rogers

john zerzan, though he may not be considered a philosopher in the elitist/academic/autistic sensability of /lit/

i like him because he never fell for the positivist mechanization of the human being, nor the medicalization of complex problems of the human pshyce

tl;dr he never forgot we have a soul
