the 'analysand' terminology amuses me. maybe because psychoanalytic therapists need to undergo a course of analysis themselves during their training and often undergo another course while they are practicing.
i guess they don't like thinking of themselves as 'clients' or 'consumers' or 'patients' lol :-) |

in aust there are changes that have been made and we are as professionals meant to call "patients" clients but the last couple years there is push to call us/them "consumers"
its all about the stigma attached to labels... here its driven by consumer consultants who speak with consumers and advocate on their behalf in regards to a lot of things in the public health system |

I guess it is wise to keep in the forefront of your mind:
This person is capable of suing my ***... 'Consumer' terminology gets me thinking of precisely that lol
