Document Summary

Overview: psychodynamic therapies, behavioural therapies, cognitive therapies. How does it work: how do cognitive-behavioural therapists view the connections among thoughts, emotions and behaviour, psychodynamic therapies. What is the goal of psychoanalysis: release psychic energy devoted to id-ego-superego conflicts, promote insights into these intrapsychic conflicts, traditionally 4-5 sessions per week, often for years, open-ended therapy. In what way is it an open-ended therapy: not meant to be brief, can go on for years very intensively. What therapeutic techniques are used in psychoanalysis: free association, report every thought that comes to mind without censorship. Interpretation: 1) dream analysis, manifest content straight forward and obvious content. Latent content hidden symbol, will reveal unconscious desires: 2) analysis of resistance, 3) analysis of transference, psychoanalyst must avoid countertransference. What is ego analysis and how does it differ from psychoanalysis: ego analysis, less emphasis on id, more emphasis on ego and insight into use of defence mechanisms, anne fred; heinz hartmann.
