0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Psychology and Seattle. I'm your host, Kirk Honda, licensed therapist.
0:05.1	It's just me today. I thought I would dive into the negative therapeutic reaction. In
0:12.7	my efforts to help therapists with their work, I have investigated several topics related
0:17.8	to treatment failure, and the negative therapeutic reaction was one of those topics. But first,
0:23.7	a little disclaimer. I am by no means a Freudian or psychoanalytic scholar. As a psycho
0:29.8	dynamic therapist and professor, I have studied the history of psychoanalysis, but not to the
0:35.4	extent that would make me an expert. Also, another disclaimer, I am in no way going to be able to
0:41.8	summarize every nuance and tributary of this topic that I know of. Almost every topic related to
0:47.4	psychoanalysis and psychodynamic theory has been expanded upon by many, many authors over, you
0:53.3	know, the past 110 years or so. Some of them are brilliant and some of them are strange and some
0:59.3	of them are both and some of them are not so brilliant or strange. And so it's a complex area
1:05.8	that is difficult to summarize very quickly, but I will attempt to provide a useful summary.
1:13.1	Okay, so first off, I have a few questions for you. Is it possible for psychotherapy to always
1:21.0	succeed? If psychotherapy helps someone, then the therapist is likely to attribute that success
1:26.3	to the therapy or to the therapist, him or herself. But what if therapy doesn't work? What if a
1:32.8	client symptoms get worse? Treatment failure has been a source subject for therapists since the
1:37.7	beginning of the profession. It's rarely discussed. Personally, I attribute this lack of discussion
1:44.9	to the self-serving attitudes of those in my field. It's so much easier to blame others when we
1:50.4	fail, right? But before I get more into that area, let's take a trip down history lane, okay?
1:56.7	All right, so in an attempt to understand why some of his patients were getting worse with
2:01.4	psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, first coined the term negative therapeutic reaction
2:07.7	in the early part of the 20th century. Hey, deserving listeners, this is an old episode that we
