4. Journal Prompt: 4/21/2014 p. 638 What Would Freud Say? 1)What are you trying to accomplish with free association? 2)“Just as Jerome began telling his therapist about a painful childhood experience, he complained of a headache and abruptly ended the session.” 3)“Mr. Phillips has recently begun to express feelings of hostility and resentment toward his therapist, who is consistently friendly, caring, and helpful.” Learning Goal : Identify psychological treatments.

5. 5 Psychological Therapies We will look at four major forms of psychotherapies based on different theories of human nature: 1.Psychoanalytic theory 2.Humanistic theory 3.Behavioral theory 4.Cognitive theory

6. 6 Psychoanalysis: Aims Since psychological problems originate from childhood repressed impulses and conflicts, the aim of psychoanalysis is to bring repressed feelings into conscious awareness where the patient can deal with them. When energy devoted to id-ego- superego conflicts is released, the patient’s anxiety lessens.

7. 7 Psychoanalysis: Methods Dissatisfied with hypnosis, Freud developed the method of free association to unravel the unconscious mind and its conflicts. The patient lies on a couch and speaks about whatever comes to his or her mind. http://www.english.upenn.edu

8. 8 Psychoanalysis: Methods During free association, the patient edits his thoughts, resisting his or her feelings to express emotions. Such resistance becomes important in the analysis of conflict-driven anxiety. Eventually the patient opens up and reveals his or her innermost private thoughts, developing positive or negative feelings (transference) towards the therapist.

9. 9 Psychoanalysis: Criticisms 1.Psychoanalysis is hard to refute because it cannot be proven or disproven. 2.Psychoanalysis takes a long time and is very expensive.

10. 10 Psychodynamic Therapy Influenced by Freud, in a face-to-face setting, psychodynamic therapists understand symptoms and themes across important relationships in a patient’s life.

11. 11 Psychodynamic Therapies Interpersonal psychotherapy, a variation of psychodynamic therapy, is effective in treating depression. It focuses on symptom relief here and now, not an overall personality change.
