    Psychoanalytic therapies view human nature as determined by irrational unconscious forces from early childhood. The personality has three parts: id, ego, superego. Much of our behavior is driven by the unconscious. Therapies aim to make the unconscious conscious by probing the past through techniques like free association and dream analysis to develop insight. Therapists take a neutral role to allow transference as clients project feelings onto them. Interpretation of dreams, resistance, and transference help clients understand unconscious motivations influencing their present.

    PSYCHOANALYTIC

    THERAPIES
    RONALD JOHN RECIO MA RPSY EMDRPRAC DAAETS
    VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE

    • Deterministic (We are the product of our past)

    • Determined by irrational forces, unconscious motivation, and


    biological instinctual drives which evolve from the first 6 years of life

    • Continuous battle between Eros and Thanatos


    STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY

    • Id

    • Ego

    • Superego
    CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS

    • Evidence for the unconscious: Dreams, Slips of the tongue and forgetting, posthypnotic
    suggestions, material from free-association, material from projective techniques, symbolic
    content from psychotic symptoms

    • Consciousness plays little importance in our lives, “cure” is targeting the symbolic meaning
    ANXIETY

    • Dread one feels from repressed feelings, memories, desires, and experience that emerge to the
    surface of awareness

    • Three kinds: Reality, Neurotic, and Moral


    DEFENSE MECHANISMS
    • Repression * • Identification
    • Denial * • Compensation *
    • Reaction formation * • Compartmentalization
    • Projection *
    • Introjection
    • Displacement *
    • Rationalization *
    • Sublimation
    • Regression
    STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT (FREUD)

    • Oral

    • Anal

    • Phallic

    • Latency

    • Genital
    THERAPEUTIC GOALS
    • Make unconscious conscious

    • Strengthen ego so that behavior is more on reality and less on instinctual cravings or irrational
    guilt

    • Successful Analysis = significant modification in behavior

    • Deep probing into past to generate self-understanding which then changes one’s character.

    • Insight focus rather than intellectual understanding


    THERAPIST’S FUNCTION AND ROLE

    • “Blank-screen”

    • Little self-disclosure

    • Goal is for the client to project psychological material onto the therapist (transference)

    • Listen to gaps and inconsistencies in the clients story


    THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES AND
    PROCEDURES
    • The therapy is geared more to limited objectives than to restructuring one’s
    personality.
    • The therapist is less likely to use the couch.
    • There are fewer sessions each week.
    • There is more frequent use of supportive interventions—such as reassurance,
    expressions of empathy and support, and suggestions—and more self-disclosure by the
    therapist.
    • The focus is more on pressing practical concerns than on working with fantasy
    material.
    MAINTAINING THE ANALYTIC
    FRAMEWORK
    • Analytic Framework = procedural stylistic factors relative anonymity, the regularity and
    consistency of meetings, and starting and ending the sessions on time

    • Consistency is key
    FREE ASSOCIATION

    • Say whatever comes to mind regardless of how painful, embarrassing, silly, trivial, illogical, or
    irrelevant. Flow with any feelings or thoughts without any censorship.

    • Task is to identify past experiences, repressed material, interpreting blocking or disruptions.

    • Nothing is taken at face value as the therapist listens to what they are saying and what the
    client’s hidden meanings are
    INTERPRETATION

    • Analyst points out, explains, or even teaches the client about the meanings of behavior that is
    manifested in dreams, free association, resistances, and the therapeutic relationship itself.

    • Usual approach is you suddenly corner your client with harsh realities about his/her baggage
    and have them confirm (positively or negatively) said baggage to develop insight into their
    unconscious material
    DREAM ANALYSIS

    • Royal Road to the unconscious

    • Dreams contain motivations or symbols which gives us insight into the unconscious world of
    the client

    • Therapists ask the client to free associate the content of their dreams with that of their current
    functioning
    RESISTANCE
    • Resistance – Fundamental to psychoanalysis; anything that blocks the continuation of therapy

    • Reluctance of the client to bring to the surface the awareness of their unconscious material
    being repressed

    • Confrontation is the key. Goal is to let clients become aware to the reason as to why they are
    resisting unconscious material from entering their consciousness

    • Usually a defense to their day to day life, this serves as a reason to work through it rather than
    around it
    INTERPRETATION OF TRANSFERENCE

    • Used to achieve here-and-now insight into the influence of the past on their present functioning

    • Enables client to work through old conflicts that keep them fixated on the past and retarding
    their emotional growth
    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: BRIEF
    PSYCHOANALYTIC THERAPY
    • Work within the framework of time-limited therapy
    • Target a specific interpersonal problem during the initial session.
    • Assume a less neutral therapeutic stance than is true of traditional analytic approaches.
    • •Establish a strong working alliance.
    • Use interpretation relatively early in the therapy relationship.
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL
    AND BPT
    Traditional BPT

    Passive role – Focus is on being a blank screen Therapist takes an active and directive role

    Usually takes years Limited between 10 and 25 sessions

    Reserved for a special set of people More practical and focus is on everyday issues

    Insight focus and self transformative Focus is also placed on interpersonal relations

    Lifespan dependency Varied but usually in short bursts


    JUNGIAN PSYCHOTHERAPY:
    CONCEPTS
    • Active Imagination: Imagination, fantasy, dreams, and meditation; acts as bridge between
    consciousness and unconscious; narrative or expression

    • Individuation: attaining the ideal self; People usually see therapists fragmented or disillusioned
    with self.

    • Collective Unconscious – We inherit certain belief patterns imbedded in society

    • Logos: fact or reason

    • Nekiya: delving into one’s unconscious; encountering your shadow


    JUNGIAN PSYCHOTHERAPY: FOCUS

    • Insight into Identity

    • Increasing interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness

    • Unconscious material tied to archetypal behavior

    • Underlying source of problems


    JUNGIAN PSYCHOTHERAPY:
    STRUCTURE
    • More discussion based and free-flowing

    • Reactive to individual needs

    • People often participate in Jungian therapy for as long as they feel that they are continuing to
    benefit from it. This means that therapy sometimes continues even after symptoms of mental
    health problems have improved.
    JUNGIAN APPROACH TO THERAPY:
    TECHNIQUES
    • Dream Analysis and Interpretation – Given more importance and is essential

    • Creative techniques to capture the unconscious

    • Transference Analysis

    • Emotional Symbolism

    • Investigation of Past Relationships


    DEMONSTRATION
