PSYC 3604 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Implicit Memory, Projective Test, Dsm-5
Document Summary
A lot of problems associated with people are due to early childhood trauma. Also unconscious desires and thoughts could be the cause. Freudian techniques rely on projection to dig up the unconscious. Repression: putting memories in unconscious to forget about it. Displacement: displacing your feeling of anger onto someone else who has not caused it. Isolation: distance yourself emotionally from a certain memory. Intellectualization: uses facts and reason to detach emotionality of a topic or event. Sublimation: converting unacceptable behaviour and thoughts into socially acceptable behaviours. Free association: let your mind speak freely without filter. Resistance: when patient is resistant to questions therapist notices this (changes subject, laughs, goes to bathroom, sarcasm) Transference: clients transfers their feelings they have for someone else towards the therapist. Slips: when someone says something they did not mean. Manifest: freud wasn"t too interested in this aspect. Freud has small sample of rich white women.
