FAQs
Do I work with people of any age?
I work with people of all ages, including children and infants. If you are bringing a child to psychoanalysis, initial sessions may be conducted with parent/s and child together. The aim of these sessions is to obtain a family history as well as to establish a relationship with the child. The eventual aim is to see the child on his or her own when appropriate and possible.
How often are the sessions?
The most effective way to work is to attend at least two sessions per week, but if this is not possible then once a week is the minimum. Psychoanalysis is usually a medium to long-term process, and attending twice a week ensures that it is not made any longer than necessary. If attending twice a week will cause financial hardship, then fees will be reduced by negotiation as necessary.
How is psychoanalysis conducted?
There is one fundamental rule to psychoanalytic work, and it is quite simple. The analysand speaks whatever is on his or her mind. This is the rule of 'free association': what is thought is not censored, or edited, or eliminated, but is spoken and made available to the encounter between analyst and analysand in the clinical setting. Of course, free association is not all that easy: no-one can do it all the time, and sometimes censorship takes place before one even knows what one has thought.
