30. Late cancellation; Is Psychoanalysis Right For Me?; Therapy Frequency and Cost

Call the Psychiatrists

In the first question a listener feels slighted by her therapist's cancellation policy. We start by discussing these policies more generally. It's a little dry but the discussion gets better by 12:25 when we talk about our listener's specific situation.

In the second question (17:50), someone's therapist has suggested increasing the frequency of their sessions and beginning psychoanalysis. He wants to know what the benefits of this might be and how psychoanalysis differs from other forms of psychotherapy.

In the final question (30:12), a psychiatrist asks how we deal with the financial implications of a patient increasing the frequency of their sessions. Discussions about money are weird and this one is no exception.
