Danny has mixed emotions about Father's Day. He’s trying to balance his needs with the demands of parenting and wants to hear more about fatherhood. He’s also curious if being psychiatrists changes our views on parenting.
Michelle (34:30) is a newly minted therapist and has questions about the role of transference and countertransference in our sessions. She’d also like to know if we have advice for someone just starting out as a therapist.

David argues that balancing personal and parenting needs can be especially hard when--like Danny--you're trying to create a different kind of life for your child.
At 08:33 we discuss the various meanings of fatherhood.
We discuss our personal experiences starting at 12:49 which quickly becomes sentimental.
At 17:29 we discuss parenting as psychiatrists. At 24:50 David has 2 hot tips from psychotherapy that he applies to parenting.
David recommends (32:00) the work of David Lancy to get some perspective on modern parenting (http://www.anthropologyofchildhood.usu.edu).
The books we mention at the end of Act 2 for the new therapist are:
The Gift of Therapy by Irvin Yalom, M.D and Deepening the Treatment by Jane Hall, LCSW
