How can I get Psychoanalysis for free??? I live in the USA in California about 1 hour from San Francisco where there should be analysts but how can I find one that is even fairly affordable?
@@centerofthecross That is not what the man asked for though is it? Are you promoting them for some reason? In most cases, the people who are most in need have barely enough money to feed themselves.
@@tracik1277 the reply answers to “how can I find one that is even fairly affordable” as well as your comment. There are many platforms out there, Psychology today, Good therapy, Talkspace, betterhelp, it depends on what you are looking for. Enjoy your day!
Is psychoanalysis a commodity to be purchased? The labor (and the training, experience, commitment...) is valuable--but how should the person (worker) who provides it be compensated?
Ha ha, great question! I think offering psychoanalytic education for free can co-exist with us working as psychoanalysts (and getting paid for doing our job).
@@BerlinPsychoanalytic I guess "Psychoanalysis must be free" translates to: "the common taxpayer must fund our pseudo-scientific philosophical exercises, please fund more of us snake-oil selling snobs"!
In the United States it certainly isn't free. In New York City rates can exceed $300 for less than an hour. And around NYC there are plenty of sliding scales that hover around $150 to $250. Even where insurance covers part of this it can be too expensive except for a narrow portion of society. I'm relatively new to psychoanalysis but find it very helpful--and as a result the idea of making it free is attractive as more people can benefit from it. Maybe if we relieved tax payers from paying for bloated military budgets the much smaller expenditures on public health and therapy would be more popular.
This channel is wonderful! Thank you for creating this!
Glad you enjoy it! Please spread the word around.
This is precious. Thank you
Glad you find it inspiring!
I agree

Hi Bryan, you can try here: www.complicated.life
@@centerofthecross Nobody on the site you linked does free or reduced cost sessions.
@@tracik1277 not free no, but some practitioners offer a sliding scale and therefore 'fairly affordable' therapy.

If you do not value your labor, why should anyone else?

How are you going to make a living then?
