Those clichéd couches; what purpose do they serve?
That’s from Freud. His method — psychoanalysis — is where you lie down on the couch, the analyst is behind you, you can’t see him. It’s called transference; he is supposed to become like a mother or father in your mind while standing behind you. Psychoanalysis has mostly died out except in places where they provide public money for it. Most psychiatrists now don’t do psychotherapy, they just give medication. You go to a psychologist for therapy.

on Jun 5, 2014Thank you for leading me to Dr Dayal Mirchandani, have consulted many psychiatrist over the last few years for my social anxiety disorder, all prescribed medicines which dulled me and made me fat. I read this interview and consulted him. Using hypnosis he patiently helped me overcome my problem. He is kind and concerned. Thank you what more can i say :)
on Mar 15, 2011Yes a really good article. agree with the previous reviewer Dr Dayal Mirchandani is a really good psychiatrist in mumbai
on Nov 21, 2010It is inflammatory and inaccurate to say that people in the west are more likely to be violent. Unfair comment.
on Aug 13, 2010A balanced article, however i feel that psychiatric medicines are harmful and overused. Many people are on psychiatric medicines for their whole life so be careful. One should seek counseling - i have attended dr mirchandani's psychotherapy
