Psychoanalytic Therapy

 
Introduced by Sigmund Freud
 
Freud believes our behavior is determined by the following key concepts: life instincts, sexual and aggressive drives, structure of personality, levels of the conscious and unconscious, anxiety, ego-defense mechanisms, and development of personality.
  • The Goal of Psychoanalytic Therapy is to increase adaptive functioning.
Techniques of Psychoanalytic Approach:
  • Limited objectives
  • fewer sessions
  • more emphasis of support
  • here-and-now client/therapist relationship
  • practical concerns
  • focus on mutual transference and countertransference
