Document Summary

Don"t stick with one style of therapy. Pick and choose different techniques based on the needs of their clients: psychotherapy integration. Report any thought, mental feeling in your mind. By doing so is going to be your unconscious: resistance. As the patient is doing free association the patient will try and change the topic. An indication for the therapist that they are getting closer to the unconscious: dream analysis. Freud believed that when we are asleep our defenses are down and thus the unconscious will come out in your dreams. Come out in the form of symbols: transference. At some point in time the patient starts to have feelings towards the therapist. They start to relate to the therapist like they would have with the significant other they have issues with. The therapist uses this to let the person know how maladaptive their feelings are and help them use different ways of communicating and resolving feelings: interpretation.
