I'm not sure which "thread" she adopts. I've never asked, I know she doesn't have one Kohut book on shelfs but has winnicott, jung, freud, and a few others..I think she just brings herself to the room...she can be very poo faced at times but she can also radiate warmth...whatever she subscribes too its working so I dont worry about the "details" to much as the work is inbetween them...
