Document Summary
Lecture preview: who seeks psychotherapy and who benefits from it, describe and evaluate the effectiveness of insight therapies and behavioural therapies, explore group and family therapies, discuss whether psychotherapy is effective. Psychoanalysis: the first therapy: sigmund freud believed abnormal behaviour was caused by unconscious feelings, thus the goal of psychotherapy was to make conscious these unconscious feelings, six primary approaches, free association. The client/patient comes in and talks about whatever is on his/her mind. The therapist will interpret this and formulate some type of theory and connections the dots: dream analysis. This is where we start to expression our unconscious feelings. As a psychoanalysis, you want to see what is going on, dream analysis is a good way: reduce resistances. Attempts to avoid confrontation and anxiety associated with uncovering previously repressed thoughts, emotions, and impulses: transference. Projecting intense, unrealistic feelings and expectations from the past onto the therapist: working through.
