Document Summary
1 explain the psychotherapeutic approaches or models that exist : psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy. The analytic therapy stems from the theoretical model proposed by sigmund freud , father of psychoanalysis. His theory explains the behavior of human beings and is based on the analysis of unconscious conflicts that originate in childhood. To understand dysfunctional thoughts, psychoanalysis places emphasis on instinctual drives that are repressed by consciousness and remain in the unconscious affecting the subject. The psychoanalyst is in charge of bringing out unconscious conflicts through the interpretation of dreams, failed acts and free association . Once the patient has expressed herself, the psychoanalyst must determine which factors, within these manifestations, reflect an unconscious conflict. The psychodynamic therapy follows the line that reflects the psychoanalytic thought of postmodernism . Therefore, it is derived from psychoanalysis, although more briefly, by focusing the intervention on certain conflicts highlighted in the current condition of the patient.
