Dr. Jonathan Shedler of the University of California at San Francisco joins us to discuss the problems that arise when random people declare themselves "therapists" and dish out platitudes to unsuspecting people, but also why, contrary to what many on the right think these days, there is legitimate benefit from psychotherapy, which amounts to promoting self-knowledge and realizing that things we don't know about ourselves can harm us.

Discover the profound insights of Dr. Jonathan Shedler, a leading expert in psychodynamic psychotherapy, as he joins us to unravel the intricate tapestry of the human psyche in therapy. In a landscape where evidence-based treatments are hailed as the gold standard, our conversation spotlights the stark contrast between what clinical trials dictate and the nuanced realities of patient experiences. Dr. Shedler champions the enduring success of psychodynamic methods, which persist as the backbone of effective therapy despite skepticism, while inviting listeners to consider the deeper relational aspects that these approaches offer beyond the superficial labels often attached to them.Navigating beyond the symptom checklist of the DSM, this episode ventures into the critical role of personality in the therapeutic journey. We discuss how mental health issues, intertwined with the fabric of an individual's life, demand an approach that addresses the complex patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that constitute personality. Dr. Shedler's expertise illuminates the evidence backing psychodynamic therapy and the need for a more holistic treatment paradigm—one that fosters a healthier sense of self and interpersonal connections, rather than isolating problems as discrete disorders.As we bid farewell to Dr. Jonathan Shedler, we reflect on the transformative power of psychoanalytic therapy and its evolution from the days of Freud to contemporary clinical practice. This episode challenges common misconceptions, opening the door to a reimagined approach to psychological education and the importance of a flexible, relationship-focused framework in treatment. With gratitude for Dr. Shedler's advocacy and his eloquent demystification of complex analytic concepts, we celebrate the strides made toward a more accessible and understood psychodynamic therapy.

Dr. Jonathan Shedler is well known for his work on the efficacy of psychodynamic therapy. He has highlighted the importance of the initial phase of therapy in establishing a foundation for successful treatment. Dr. Shedler strongly believes the consultation phase is crucial to developing a working alliance between client and therapist and building a treatment frame and structure. Without this foundation, there is no mutual understanding about the goal or the purpose of treatment, and psychotherapy should not move forward. Join us in this episode as Dr. Shelder discusses how to create a firm starting foundation in clinical practice.

Happy Monday to all  Mind Dive listeners.  This episode has been by far our most popular since we started Mind Dive in Feb. 2022.  Thanks again to Dr. Jonathan Shedler for giving his expertise and time to the discussion.  This week we replay  it for those who may not have heard it. Hotly debated in mental health care, psychoanalytic therapy has been criticized for lacking evidence compared to other approaches. Now, many clinicians attest to the benefits of this evidence-based treatment and see a great need in their patients for relationship-centered therapeutic approaches from their doctor and an emphasis on knowing oneself in order to heal. Dr. Jonathan Shedler, psychologist and author of, “The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,” staunchly advocates for clinicians to keep an open mind about what suits their patients best on this episode of Menninger Clinic's Mind Dive. This internationally acclaimed clinician is known for his work in establishing psychotherapy as an evidence-based treatment.  Alongside hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland, Dr. Shedler explores the dilemmas and nuances of psychotherapy throughout its history and how clinicians can view it through a modern lens.Jonathan Shedler, PhD, is a consultant, master clinician, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California (UCSF) and faculty member at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. He also leads workshops for professional audiences, consults to U.S. and international government agencies, and provides clinical consultation to mental health professionals worldwide. “I think it's perfectly fine to say we don't fully know our own hearts and minds. The things that we don't know cause suffering and can cause symptoms and limitations. Because of this, there's a tremendous value in coming to know ourselves more fully,” said Dr. Shedler. “That's what can happen in the context of psychoanalytic therapy and what can allow our patients to ultimately feel more free and more whole.” Resources mentioned in this episode: "The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy" by Dr. Jonathan Shedler Mind Dive Episode 6: Building Trust in Therapeutic Relationships with Dr. Jon Allen “That was then, this is now: An introduction to contemporary psychodynamic therapy” by Dr. Jonathan ShedlerFollow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Increasingly, the answers arrive filtered through the lens of incomplete research or, worse, via buzzwords popularized by wellness websites.

When a narcissist breaks up with us, that is commonly referred to as a "discard". However, today I came across a tweet from psychotherapist Jonathan Shedler that mentioned being "shrugged off". There is an emotional quality to this expression which I think is highly relevant to situations with narcissists.

In life we often keep repeating the same patterns, even if they are not beneficial to us. And even if we become aware of this, we likely may still not understand ourselves. That's because we don't fully know our hearts and minds. In fact, most of what is inside of our mind is hidden from us. There is, however, a proven way to illuminate these parts of ourselves, with the help of psychodynamic therapy.And our guest today, Dr. Jonathan Shedler, is an expert on the human condition. He is a psychologist, master clinician and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California. He is internationally known as an author, researcher and clinical educator.

Really! Melanie and guest Jon Baskin have a lot of fun talking about psychoanalysis in this episode.   Things like what it is, why there are so many negative biases against it (at least on Melanie's part), and what motivated Jon to become a candidate psychoanalyst-in-training at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute.   Jon Baskin is already a seasoned psychotherapist. He's a licensed clinical social worker, completing his bachelor's degree in philosophy at UCLA along with a master's degree in social welfare, also at UCLA.   Over the course of his career, he's worked with children with neurodevelopmental disabilities; military service members, veterans, and their families; first responders; education and mental health professionals; teenagers and young adults; and those experiencing crises related to severe psychological distress.   Jon's a warm, compassionate, engaging guest who's articulate about a sometimes confusing psychotherapeutic modality.   The prominent psychoanalytic therapist, Jonathan Shedler, shares this sort-of description about how it works:   "Our patients recreate their problematic relationship patterns with us in the therapy relationship. Our unavoidable participation in these patterns provides a crucial window into their inner worlds.   “Our unexpected participation in our patients' problematic relational patterns necessarily stirs up difficult feelings for us. It is not a question of if we experience difficult feelings but of whether or not we can use them constructively, as a source of understanding.”   Come along with Melanie as she learns more about psychoanalysis in this light-hearted (honest!) episode.   Jon Baskin's website here: https://www.baskinpsychotherapy.com   Dr. Melanie Harth's website here: https://thesantafetherapist.com     The Santa Fe Therapist   I'm Melanie, and I love helping people who are ready to work with a trauma therapist.    In balancing the science of therapy with the art of healing, I'll create an innovative program for you that sets you on a path of success from the very first session.   My compassionate, creative approach weaves together my ability to hear below the surface of the words, advanced degrees, years of specialized training, professional experience, and my own healing around trauma.   I use the latest neuroscience findings as I combine Western systems, Eastern wisdom, Earth-based practices, as well as creative, innovative ideas to help you process, heal and begin building your future.   My hope for you is that you'll feel safe every step of the way as you transform “I don't feel safe” into “Yes, I'm safe and well and happy.”   If you'd like a free, 15-minute phone consult, just send me an email: melanie@melanieharth.com.

For over a century, psychoanalytic psychology has recognized certain types of personality configurations that we see repeatedly. A clinician who understands these familiar patterns has a map of the patient's interior terrain to help navigate treatment. In today's episode of the podcast, we are joined by Dr. Jonathan Shedler to discuss obsessive-compulsive personality and the continuum on which personalities operate. Link to blog here.

We've all been there before – feeling alone and wondering if we'll ever find that special someone. Wondering if this feeling will last forever is one of the parts of being single that can scare us the most. But it's normal to feel this way, normal to want to connect with someone else, to want to have that special someone. In this week's episode, Chantelle shares the mindset shifts you can use to take the fear about of the potential of being alone forever (even if that's a REALLY small possibility) and encourages you to look at your single life differently!----------------------------The Single Girl's NYE Getaway 2023 - 10-part payment plan available until 14th February 2023Modern Wisdom, by Chris Williamson - #567 Dr Jonathan Shedler - 14 Psychoanalytical Concepts To Understand YourselfSingle on Valentine's Day EVENT (Essex) - Tuesday 14th February 2023Single on Valentine's Day ONLINE Event - Monday 13th February 2023

Dr Jonathan Shedler is a psychologist, author, master clinician and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California. We do not understand ourselves. Almost all of what is inside of our minds is obscured from us. We don't need to exclusively despair though. With a little work and some good insights from psychoanalysis, the view can be made a little clearer. Expect to learn why people believe that their suffering makes them more moral than others, how you can create a false identity without realising, the ruthless danger of projective identification, how come it's easier for us to see people as either good or bad, how extreme envy can manifest, the manipulative strategies we all enact without thinking and much more...

When we're stressed, upset, feeling down, or off, most of us have things we do to decompress. Things we find therapeutic — maybe it's listening to music, working with our hands, or unplugging for a while.  But sometimes these mood boosters don't do the trick and it seems like it's time to talk to a professional.  During the pandemic, more people sought counseling than ever before. But the process of therapy can still seem a bit opaque. What exactly happens in therapy? How does it work? And which approach is right for which issues? On this episode, we get inside the heads of therapists to find out how they ply their craft, and what it takes to really feel better.  We hear stories about what happened when a city took a bold step toward providing free, virtual mental health services to its residents. Also: what happens when politics and therapy collide; how Freud's brainchild — psychoanalysis — is still relevant; and what it's like to grow up as the child of two shrinks. Also heard on this week's episode: We talk with veteran relationship therapist Argie Allen-Wilson about who should get therapy and why, how long therapy should last, and how to break up with your therapist. Allen-Wilson is CEO and co-founder of Family and Individual Therapeutic Healing (or F.A.I.T.H.) Inc. and Connections Matter.' Freud may have given rise to modern talk therapy — but these days, a lot of his ideas, from penis envy to the Oedipal complex, have fallen out of favor. So where does that leave modern psychoanalysis? Reporter Liz Tung talks with psychoanalysts Jonathan Shedler and Steven Kuchuck. For more on psychoanalysis, see Kuchuck's new book “The Relational Revolution in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy,” and Shedler's “That Was Then, This is Now: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for the Rest of Us.” From the time she was a kid, Dara Lovitz had one big fear: vomiting. But when she became a mother, she knew things had to change. Lovitz explains her journey, step by step, from phobia to acceptance through exposure therapy. Her book, with psychologist David Yusko, is “Gag Reflections: Conquering a Fear of Vomit Through Exposure Therapy.” Can you imagine having a therapist around 24/7 — analyzing your behavior, your moods, maybe even your dreams? For journalist Micah Toub, that was just normal life growing up as the son of two shrinks. Nichole Currie reports. Toub's book is “Growing Up Jung: Coming of Age as the Son of Two Shrinks.” This episode was first broadcasted on January 7, 2022

Jonathan Shedler is a psychologist and clinician whose research covers personality types. In this discussion, we explore the ethos and historical context of Psychoanalysis, from its beginnings with Freud to its subsequent developments, and how it is distinct from other therapies. We cover psychoanalysis' purpose and methods, how it has become weaponized in common discourse, and what its real aims are.

The new year often feels like a good time to make a fresh start, to tackle some issue that's giving you grief — eating habits, work-life balance, having time for friends or exercise… but as the pandemic rages on, it's hard to have the energy to keep trudging along, let alone become some better version of yourself. Which is why more people than ever are turning to therapy. But the process of therapy can still seem a bit opaque. What exactly happens in therapy? How does it work? And which approach is right for which issues? On this episode, we get inside the heads of therapists to find out how they ply their craft, and what it takes to really feel better. We hear stories about what happened when a city took a bold step toward providing free, virtual mental health services to its residents. Also: what happens when politics and therapy collide; how Freud's brainchild — psychoanalysis — is still relevant; and what it's like to grow up as the child of two shrinks. Also heard on this week’s episode: We talk with veteran relationship therapist Argie Allen-Wilson about who should get therapy and why, how long therapy should last, and how to break up with your therapist. Allen-Wilson is CEO and co-founder of Family and Individual Therapeutic Healing (or F.A.I.T.H.) Inc. and Connections Matter. Freud may have given rise to modern talk therapy — but these days, a lot of his ideas, from penis envy to the Oedipal complex, have fallen out of favor. So where does that leave modern psychoanalysis? Reporter Liz Tung talks with psychoanalysts Jonathan Shedler and Steven Kuchuck. For more on psychoanalysis, see Kuchuck’s new book “The Relational Revolution in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy,” and Shedler’s “That Was Then, This is Now: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for the Rest of Us.” From the time she was a kid, Dara Lovitz had one big fear: vomiting. But when she became a mother, she knew things had to change. Lovitz explains her journey, step by step, from phobia to acceptance through exposure therapy.

What is psychoanalysis in the 2020s? An expensive exercise in self-centred indulgence? For the first time in the place we call the Private Practice we discuss in a bit more detail what it is. Dan is a fully qualified mental health practitioner and has over 20 years' experience of therapy, and James is/has neither of those things, and so asks the questions to learn about a practice than can often seem mystical when rather the word is mysterious. Psychoanalysis was famously invented by Freud, but is not all about him and his penis obsession, at least not all of the time. Increasingly, however, people are ditching his field of thought and relying on CBT to solve their problems. Despite our deep-dive into this hall of distorted mirrors in our recent mini-series, we still think it's often just wallpapering over the cracks. And by "crack" I mean anything you want me to mean…Grab a cigar, suck on it like you mean it, and come with us behind the closed door of the Private Practice to have a more purposeful idea of why you would want to explore your unconscious.Mentioned in this episode:This Jungian Life podcast https://thisjungianlife.com/episode-184-does-analysis-work-a-conversation-with-jonathan-shedler-phd/The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy by Jonathan Shedler https://jonathanshedler.com/PDFs/Shedler%20%282010%29%20Efficacy%20of%20Psychodynamic%20Psychotherapy.pdf

“Talk is powerful medicine.” Renowned researcher and clinician Jonathan Shedler, Ph.D., joins us to discuss the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy. While so-called evidence-based therapies—brief treatments conducted by instruction manuals—offer benefits for some, their status as the “gold standard” of treatment for mental distress is undeserved. Dr. Shedler's 2010 paper, “The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,” is the most widely read psychoanalytic paper of our time. It's been downloaded more than a quarter of a million times and has been cited by thousands. He discusses this influential work with us, including the finding that those who engage in psychodynamic psychotherapy not only improve by the end of treatment but continue to make gains even years after therapy is finished. According to Shedler, “psychodynamic therapy sets in motion psychological processes that lead to ongoing change, even after therapy has ended.” Jung tells us that we don't solve our problems so much as grow larger than them. There is good empirical evidence that psychodynamic psychotherapy does indeed help us to grow.  Here's the dream we analyze: “I am in a snowy place with my mom. We are leaving one chalet to go to a different one to meet up with other family members. While packing up to leave, I am preoccupied with a lost sweater. My mom is angry at me for wasting time. I love the sweater; it's beautiful, and I wanted it for a long time before I got it. I gradually accept that the sweater is now gone, but I'm really sad about it. Then we get into the car. We are both in the back seat of the car talking to each other, and it takes a few minutes before we realize that the car is driving itself. I am not bothered by this; I seem to intuit that the car will take us to the right place, or at least that it knows where it's going. But my mom is once again angry at me for not driving it. I cannot drive it because my leg is injured. It is this anger--as she realizes that I'm not driving the car--that seems to make the car stop, and then we are stranded in the middle of the road.” RESOURCES: Dr. Shedler's website Seven Principles of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (video) That was then, this is now: An introduction to contemporary psychodynamic therapy The tyranny of time: How long does effective therapy really take?  The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Follow Dr. Shedler on Twitter Learn to analyze your dreams at Dream School

Dr. Jonathan Shedler is dissatisfied. As both a researcher and a practitioner, he is frustrated with the misinformation that permeates the counseling field, much of it promulgated by an academia with little clinical experience. His contrarian voice is best known for his deconstruction of so-called “evidence-based therapy,” its research methods, and his staunch defense of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Since a seminal paper, a decade ago, he has separated himself from the psychological establishment, to educate everyday clinicians and the lay public on the tenets of psychoanalysis, the importance of the working alliance, and how the therapeutic relationship doesn’t require an instruction manual in order to transform lives.

"When we talk about psychodynamic therapy that's what we are talking about - therapy that aims to enable you to truly know yourself in a way that is transformative, in a way that opens the door to living life differently than you are able to live now, in a way that provides some escape from having to relive the same kinds of painful, self-defeating and limiting patterns."    Episode Description:  We discuss the generic nature of the term 'psychotherapy' - how it refers to a large number of different clinical encounters. We focus on the unique properties of dynamic psychotherapy, a treatment that focuses on the repetitive relationship patterns that have limited the lives of those seeking new opportunities. Attention is given to how these maladaptive patterns get unknowingly replayed in the setting with the therapist. The emotional demands this places on the therapist are considerable and require themselves to have been in their own therapy to learn how their own mind works. Intellectual insight is not transformative - emotional reliving and reworking is. We close by reviewing the research findings on standardized treatments and their comparison with the longer-lasting benefits from dynamic psychotherapy.    Our Guest:  Jonathan Shedler, Ph.D. is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), faculty member at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and Consulting Supervisor at California Pacific Medical Center.  His article The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy won worldwide acclaim for firmly establishing psychoanalytic therapy as an evidence-based treatment. He is the author of numerous scientific and scholarly articles, creator of the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP) for personality diagnosis and clinical case formulation, and co-author of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2).  He has more than 25 years' experience teaching and supervising psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts. Dr. Shedler lectures internationally, leads workshops for professional audiences, consults to U.S. and international government agencies, and provides expert clinical consultation to mental health professionals worldwide.
