These are essays and critiques on psychological and therapeutic issues. Hopefully they can be read by anyone, but the first set should have the broadest appeal. Here is the idea behind all this: The widespread
disillusionment with psychoanalysis has led therapists to give up on analyzing,
and to take the view that what you think and feel is arbitrary. It’s like
giving up on reality. You are supposed to be able to think and feel what ever
you choose, as long as you try hard enough. This is not altogether wrong, but
it is an inspirational therapy, which, like being Born Again, can be
powerful, but should be recognized as such. I have called this “Ego Analysis, or “Structural analysis,” and more recently, “Analytic Cognitive Therapy.” For more, see the essay below “A Deeper Cognitive Therapy.” BERNARD
