I cannot think of anything worse than being a client of a ,'not very bright'
counsellor.
The main thing that works for me in my own analysis is that my analyst is
very erudite and wise, a very sharp thinker, doesn't miss a trick, uses his
erudition as a tool often quoting plays, poetry and greek myths to explain
issues, insights and concerns and nothing less will suffice.
Now there a positive transference!!!
A decent quality diploma course seems at least as appropriate as a
non-related degree and post-grad diploma. >>
I am stilll second marking diploma students even though the course ended
two/three years ago, why are they not failed?????
