It is with abundant pleasure that I now report that my self-analytic insight holds complete water. A paper will soon be written. I hope that it makes waves in a small manner in which Freud's Dream Book did. In fact, during my long years of self-analysis which I see continuing until I am 6-feet under, no greater breakthrough might ever occur. I write a brief article regarding the technique included with a slight literature review. Needless to say it will speak about the most known way analysts (if they even do today) are motivated by limiting counter-transference to do so to achieve maximum therapeutic results for their clients. The practice of psychoanalysis has taken such a downturn, I am of belief that even counter-transference and the techniques by which to minimize it are even even followed or taken seriously in today's watered down self-analytic environment.
I will also do a critique, in truth a negative one, of a published article detailing one psychoanalyst's aims to discover an alternative and original way to do a self-analysis. His approach centers around his use of and choice of words describing either his or his patients' analytical logs. Being that this writing is worked out extensively in the conscious realm (though there is always unconscious elements in everything that we do or write or etcetra), his results are quite defintively watered down. In comparison to Freud's free associative writing where you continuosly put down on paper everything that enters your mind, one can see that the priorly spoken about analyst's method is weak in substance and theory. My newfound technique does not have these drawbacks.
I wrestle with myself whether to introduce my method now or more concretely in a paper which I will soon present, either will happen soon enough!!!
I look forward to one day share this discovery (or invention) and other ideas introduced in my paper's one day to other's who share interest in psychoanalysis, or better yet interest in the unconscious and its mysterious workings, one day. For this is truly what true hard-core analysis is about-->the journey and application of man's and mens' and society's interaction with the subterfuge of what lies underneath-->this being our...
