Mine has specific interests in the following.

Cognitive behavioral, metacognitive therapies, Interpersonal neurobiology with regards to Psychoanalysis, Attachment theory, relationships between trauma and psychoses, Buddhism, Mindfulness in Psychotherapy and Philosophical practices/groundings in psychiatry.

I am extremely lucky in that he actually chose to take me on just by chance, and he has waived all fees for me over the past few years I've been seeing him. Otherwise I'd be screwed, because there's no way I could afford regular therapy (we're not exactly what you'd call living in the upper echelons of the socio-economic ranges).

It's great to hear that someone else also has a good Pdoc who's helping to lead the way for the future generation. I like that a lot more integrated type Psychiatry seems to be being taught now. Before I'd go to a Psych and it would feel just all medical and nothing else, so then I'd go to a more spiritually minded Counsellor or Psychologist, but then I'd be thinking 'I need the medical model as well'. I love the fact that Psychiatry is starting to combine modalities in this way.
