Psychoanalysis is old fashioned now.expensive, time consuming and many would say a waste of time. Only for the self absorbed rich? Who wish to revisit their childhoods in order to gain new insights.
"So that's why I am afraid of women! Because my mother used to hold Tupperware parties and never invite me!"
Then in the 50s Ellis started REBT. Rational Emotional Behaviour Therapy. It was a rejection of Psychoanalysis. "Dwelling on our
Childhoods solves little." Better to look at our current thinking. My beliefs. My life philosophy. My values. Am I neurotic? Do I expect a perfect life? How much is my thinking making my problems worse?
