I thought the guy pretty clearly said he was not psychodynamic. If that is what is wanted, then maybe finding one of those guys who wants to that sort would be less frustrating.
I think the guy is a jerk but I don't think he is wrong. A lot of time seems to be spent focusing on him -what he should have said or done or how he could have done x,y or x differently or what lt had worked out in her head but it was not how he responded and so on. Maybe with a different therapist lt could work on whatever she went to therapy for and not so much keeping her focus on the therapist. To me this seem just like what happened with the last one who was supposed to be a marriage counselor but somehow became more of just lts.

I don't think leaving the guy would be a bad plan (I don't think an ultimatum of be different or I will leave would work and I don't think it would be a good thing if it did work). I believe people keep doing the same thing over and over until they decide to stop. I think it might be better to find one who is psychodynamic from the get go rather than trying to make one who doesn't do that into one who does if attachment is why one wants to hire a therapist.
