The articles highlights some of the problems at present with how the mental health providers in the USA are not prepared to work with people who experience psychosis, and also the underlying issues regarding prejudice and discrimination. I would also like to point out that there are other approaches that provide successful treatment outcomes, beside cbt, mostly by understanding the very early trauma of the self, behind these individuals experiences. Authors such as Danielle Knafo, Michael Eigen, Michael Garrett, Francoise Davoine, Brian Matindale, just to name a few, who publish on their approaches, should have been included in this article!
Dear Cornelia,
i am so sad to read about your experiences. As a psychologist as well as a patient of psychotherapy myself, i can confirm that what you experienced with the “above therapist” was not therapy. Please do not assume that there are no good therapists and good therapeutic work and change out there. Its not easy to know who that is, i agree. this may be of some help: https://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/article/tyranny-time/ or https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/psychologically-minded/201604/how-to-choose-a-therapist
