But that's the thing. I'm in psychoanalysis and I have preverbal trauma and I have demanded more from my therapists/analysts than many people in this forum and this therapy has been immensely helpful for me in dealing with my trauma.

I see my T 4 days a week and on top of that I sometimes call or email and that's all ok. Also, both of my analyst where from completely different parts of the world and randomly picked. So it's not that psychoanalytic therapy per se is somehow bad or unsuitable for preverbal trauma. Quite the opposite, based on my experience it is one of the best you could get.

The point is that some people have good experience and some have bad. What's the difference? I would say that the person of the therapist is different. It's not the system that treats a patient but a particular therapist who does that. Also, talking about psychoanalytic (just because this is something I have experience with), I bet that the training can vary and some people can consider them to be psychoanalytic therapists without actually being properly trained (gone through their own extensive treatment etc).

Btw, schema therapy is an amalgam from CBT, psychodynamic and other stuff. I think you could quite straightforwardly map schemas with unconscious stuff and transferences. Again, I don't think that schema therapy per se is something that heals but it is very heavily dependent on the therapist - if the therapist has not resolved her own major traumas then no matter how much training she has, she most probably will screw up with trauma patient.

In some sense I also agree with the "inadequate system" view though. I'm taking some psychology classes at the university right now and one of them is clinical psychology. After the seminars of this class I felt completely sick for a week or so because of the overly simplistic-positivistic view expressed by the lecturers (who are practicing clinical psychologists). They expressed no awareness about the complexities of the therapy situation, they seemed to be from a completely different universe than I. I imagine that if someone enters to therapy relationship with these people it can be quite horrible experience - I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm glad that I somehow was able to avoid this mainstream therapy community.
