Is psychotherapy like painting or more like sculpture?
About this episode
Dr. Don Carveth explores Freud's analogy of psychotherapy as either painting or sculpture in relation to self-discovery.
In his 1905 essay on psychotherapy Freud elaborates the distinction between painting (pouring on) and sculpture (chipping away). Classical defense and resistance analysis seeks to emancipate the true self.
