Document Summary

Psychodynamic theories: this approach focuses on internal conflict and unconscious factors that underlie maladaptive behavior, term psychoanalysis refers not only to freud"s theory of personality, but also to the specific approach to treatment that he developed. Chapter 17 notes: free association may not necessarily lead directly to unconscious material, but rather that it will provide clues concerning important themes or issues. Dream interpretation: psychoanalysts believe that dreams express impulses, fantasies and wishes that the client"s defenses keep in the unconscious during waking hours. In dreams (freud called the royal road to the unconscious ) defensive processes usually disguise the threatening material to protect the dreamer from the anxiety that the material might invoke. Chapter 17 notes: that is why, even after the analyst fully understands the causes, psychoanalysis may require many more years as it is the client who eventually must arrive at the insight.
