| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. If you haven't already, please become a patron of the podcast by going to patreon.com. |
| 0:07.2 | And today, I thought I would just respond to your emails, particularly the patron emails. |
| 0:13.1 | Another reason to become patron. Okay, patron Cody emailed in. This is a few months ago. and patron Cody says, I am a child and adolescent |
| 0:23.9 | psychiatrist in New Orleans, and I'm also a patron of the podcast. I'm working on a paper on |
| 0:31.9 | projective identification, and I have a question. You mentioned that there are three ways in which it can be brought about. |
| 0:40.0 | One, by choosing people who have those qualities, two, by choosing someone susceptible to the |
| 0:46.6 | identification, and three, by making someone identify this way. I was wondering if you had a |
| 0:53.2 | reference source for this that I could review. |
| 0:56.8 | Well, patron Cody, I realize it's probably four months since you emailed me this, and if you're |
| 1:04.3 | still working on this paper, then you are very similar to me because when I go down a rabbit hole, |
| 1:10.5 | I spend years writing some papers. I just recently |
| 1:15.1 | finished a paper on supervision, and I thought I was just going to spend, I don't know, |
| 1:20.2 | a couple days, and I ended up spending two months. I spent probably, I don't know, let's just take a conservative guess of about 30 to 40 hours per week for two months. |
| 1:34.7 | I spent just so much time. |
| 1:36.8 | And it was actually really enjoyable because I'd never really done a systematic review of supervision. |
| 1:41.0 | And I'm going to actually make a podcast or a patron only episode, |
| 1:45.5 | premium episode about supervision for everybody. It'll pertain to a lot of people because it's |
| 1:51.1 | not just about me as a supervisor, but also about what it's like to be a supervise. And the |
| 1:56.8 | prevalence of just inadequate and sometimes harmful supervision out there is just appalling. |
| 2:03.4 | And I have a lot of research on that. But anyway, so if you're anything like me, Patron, Cody, |
| 2:07.5 | you're still working on this paper four months later. And to some extent, I kind of hope that you |
| 2:11.4 | still are because I'm just now getting to this. But for your sake, I hope you, you've completed |
