Dr Fredrick Boholst - Guitar by Sergio Assad

From Dr Fredrick Boholst - March 4, 2025 I have always believed that students of clinical psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy should engage with the arts in some form. They don’t need to create art themselves; simply being immersed in it—as listeners, readers, or observers—can be just as powerful. Over the years, I have come to realize that artists—whether poets, painters, musicians, novelists, or screenwriters—possess a deep, intuitive grasp of human truths. As the eminent psychiatrist Eric Berne once said of poets: “They beat us to the punch!” Poets and painters capture our emotions, musicians echo our longings, and novelists give voice to our stories. Across disciplines, artists weave recurring motifs—patterns that the sensitive eye or ear intuitively recognizes. Novelists explore the complexity of human personality, while filmmakers project our joys, hopes, pains, and pining onto the screen, mirroring our struggles and triumphs. Psychotherapists should do the same. As modern-day healers of the mind, we must perceive the underlying patterns in our clients’ narratives, for beneath their fears and anxieties, their depression, anger, compulsions, or confusion, there is always a running theme—a repeating story. Sometimes, it is a discordant melody seeking resolution, a blurred impression of images crying for clarity, or a cipher of hallucinations, longing to be told, heard, and understood. In that spirit, I dedicate this piece of music to the healers among us. Valseana—composed and arranged for the guitar by Sergio Assad, carries a theme that feels almost conversational—reminiscent of Bach’s two-part inventions, yet slower, more romantic and impressionistic.
