Ok, so. Early in their career, GVD rented office space in an Orthodox church, so there were lots of icons and whatnot in the office. Once in supervision, they read a session note where a pt commented on one of the icons...
...and their v traditional psychoanalytic supervisor was all, "You have religious icons in your office?? Why would you interfere with the transference in this way!?" Meanwhile, said analytic supervisor had multiple busts of Freud and other early analysts, as well as (tasteful?) nudes in their office
