Howdy larc,
On the subject of the
name APA. Somebody was arguing back/forth with Amazing about what the initials stood for when referring to M. Singer (on mind control).
Several variations were tossed around - until the sarcasm ended with American Poodle Association.
In class the other day, my prof. kept referring to the APA - and I was going to tell him the variant meanings.....but I tactfully refrained. Pretty good thinking on my part, eh?
As for psychoanalysis, as performed by Freudian followers - how is it done.....and how's it different from when somebody goes to a therapy. How does one
know what kind of therapist/psych. they're getting?
I always enjoy your posts when your in this mode, btw. Thanks.

ps: How much do you know about memory and the current research on both sides of the argument on it? E. Loft is the new president for the APA, and she's a strong opponent to repressed memory, so I'm assuming that the formal stand will be against it? I've read one of her books, and several of her papers on the net. Interesting, but not totally the answer, in my not so knowledgeable opinon.
