Psychodynamic treatment: abreactive: cathexis- taking energy and attaching it to something for example a new phone. And you have this desire to get a new phone. When you get the phone it decathexis or catharsis. Life is a whole series of this: abreaction is catharsis in a therapeutic setting- you share something with someone and there is a release of energy, you feel a lot better. Models: stark model 1- you face your demons, model 2- you grieve losses and deficits, model 3-do for the self what was not done, self soothe, sadder and wiser.
