@drwilliamsharp.bsky.social The question of drugs versus psychotherapy is a long and complex one. It also is not a question that can be looked at on principle alone; money continues to drive what we, as a society, value and deem important.

Should psychologists participate in enhanced interrogation techniques was an interesting listen, and gave me a perspective I had never thought of before. It was interesting to see different scenarios in which psychology is used. @drwilliamsharp.bsky.social

After reading "What the Therapist Thinks About You," I find that patients like Mr. Baldwin find it compelling to read therapist notes. In a way, this allows patients like him to be consciously aware of their diagnoses and behaviors in a positive way.

Mental health is a vital aspect of wellbeing, and seeking help or acknowledging struggles is a sign of strength, not weakness, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. There is support available you can contact your GP, or a charity like @sane.org.uk #talkinghelps #itsokaynottobeokay #mentalhealth 💜

Shedler’s paper highlights how manualized, evidence-based therapies often fall short in real-world practice. Patients’ lived experiences and the complexity of therapy cannot be easily standardized and placed into a manual that works for all. @drwilliamsharp.bsky.social #TalkingHelps #Psyc4666

I found it interesting that CBT and other manualized therapies are considered evidence based, but instead we learn evidence that demonstrates long-term improvement years after psychodynamic treatment concludes, unlike after CBT treatment concludes. #TalkingHelps #Psych4666

I found the article "What the Therapist Thinks About You" by Jan Hoffman interesting, but not compelling enough. While I recognize the benefits for certain patients, I think sharing access creates a standard where the notes become performative!

Just watched 'The Case for Psychoanalysis (v4)' by Dr. John Thor Cornelius. He provides a clear evidence-focused case that psychodynamic/analytic therapy can produce deep, durable change that often continues after treatment ends. Great video! @drwilliamsharp.bsky.social #TalkingHelps #Psyc4666

Reading Zainab Iftikhar’s research on AI “therapists” is unsettling. If these systems simulate empathy without real understanding, are we prioritizing access over ethics? Mental health care isn’t something we can reduce to automation without real consequences.

During class yesterday, we went over presentations on therapy methods I found really interesting -- primarily as introductions/overviews of existential therapy and play therapy (very different from each other, which I found funny yet fitting).

As someone who's education in research has focused on evidence and results, Shedler (2015) made me rethink what we think by "evidence". Are we measuring effectiveness or just what's easiest to manualize? #TalkingHelps @drwilliamsharp.bsky.social
