I switched to communication for my M.A., then after more 20 years got my seminary degree and was ordained outside the UMC system. I never would have been able to put up with these antics given my background and my age. I just don't have the time to waste playing games.RERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951409425866869945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-19309346633918930352007-07-01T16:32:00.000-04:002007-07-01T16:32:00.000-04:00Beth wrote:I didn't enjoy CPE - had some valuable ...Beth wrote:<BR/><BR/><I>I didn't enjoy CPE - had some valuable experiences with the patients I met, and learned a lot from being with them, but hated the coursework and one-on-ones because the psychoanalytical model was so over the top I couldn't stand it.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, my supervisor is fond of playing amateur psychologist, too. But we have fun with it in my group. The response to every statement (e.g. "My shoelace broke") is "And how does that make you feel?"Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854543617806427302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-20234578505160912152007-07-01T14:49:00.000-04:002007-07-01T14:49:00.000-04:00Sounds like A and C were "old school" and B is the...Sounds like A and C were "old school" and B is the emerging CPE paradigm.

I didn't enjoy CPE - had some valuable experiences with the patients I met, and learned a lot from being with them, but hated the coursework and one-on-ones because the psychoanalytical model was so over the top I couldn't stand it.Beth Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171030571583683180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-64887102113715786892007-07-01T14:02:00.000-04:002007-07-01T14:02:00.000-04:00Man, I've been in some tough interviews but nothin...Man, I've been in some tough interviews but nothing quite like that!
