Most mental suffering we endure (if not due to present grief and loss) arises either from our fervent attempts to resolve or answer uncomprehended emotional needs, or because we never learned to endure and adapt our unruly interior lives to the world around us. I help individuals to feel better by attending to all that they are in the moment, as a way of understanding how they have come to be themselves -- and how who they are is at odds with what they want to be and feel. I am trained both in "classical" and contemporary psychoanalysis (IPA member) and in Columbia's pioneering Program in Narrative Medicine, where I now teach.
So I come to clinical practice with a rigorous and critical understanding of the theory and technique of psychoanalytic psychotherapy past and present, but I consider it my work to learn the language of each patient's experience, and to speak it with them. I discuss this in my book, Freud's Requiem (Riverhead/Penguin), and other writings.
As a writer, interested in the marvels both of mind and world, I prize precise, experience-near communication, both in literature and psychotherapy. I believe empathic, intuitive understanding and clinical observation are complementary, and are the best avenues by which to approach the complexity of each individual's inner world. www.freudsrequiem.com
