Counseling On Psychoanalysis Washington DC

By Christine Powell


Therapy is caught up in a monsoon rain of differing showers of intensity. There are two schools of thought, one the other the Freudian one and one the Jungian and also a one which includes a revisiting of the philosophies of Freud by Jacque Lacan. Have a look at the following article taking us through the topic Philosophical perspectives on literature psychoanalysis Washington DC.

An incredibly important concept of psychotherapy lies in this notion itself that patients can understand emotions through assessing both their instinctual and reflective natures and how these aspects work together. A product of this relationship is often referred to as defense mechanisms, a term coined by Freud in the late 19th century.

These defense mechanisms often displayed themselves as maladaptive behavior and presented themselves in therapy as symptomology of biological defects, such as twitching, nervousness and at its worst hysteria (panic attacks). Freud believed that through the technique of free-association a patient could reenact mentally the past traumas and so through insight could come to terms with the past event.

In addition to these two basic psychoanalytical concepts, there lies a great deal of learning in the process as well. Frosh (2015) identifies the positive implications of the willingness to endure treatment for both the patient and the analyst. Though the application of endurance is a strong case from a scholastic and philosophical standpoint, the economic impact of an intense, ongoing therapy cannot go unnoted.

From this stage, the baby would explore its world orally, to begin with, and as it became more dexterous and language developed would move through various exploratory devices such as anal, phallic, latent and genital. More importantly from a therapy point of view, each stage represented a maturing of the mind through socialization. This Freud saw as the development of the "Super-Ego" that part of the mind that took on board the beliefs and values of those around us.

The archetypal model of the witch would be a misnomer for radically oriented feminists, and they would label the attributes of witches as misunderstood products of masculine imagination. Freudian theories of the libido are taken as interpretative constructs for the reading of literature, they are taken seriously by the going of the literature.

I happened to be teaching students the famous play of George Bernard Shaw the Arms and the Man. I have been peculiarly surprised by his construct of male characters who are obsessed with oedipal fantasies which they invest on their feminine amours. The lovers especially the feminine are role played upon with dialogues that portray them as lovable nurses and mothers.

It is impossible to explore all the differing types of analysis in this short essay however on of the most influential and clinically acceptable styles is that of Eric Bern who developed Transactional Analysis. In all psychoanalytical therapy, it is primarily aimed at the individual and the individual's problems of behavior and ability to cope in the present environment. The success of individual therapy is in the debate.
