  2. Insight therapy • A variety of individual psychotherapies designed to give people a better awareness and understanding of their feelings, motivations, and actions in hope that this will help them adjust

  3. Who is at the bottom of this? • FREUD!!!! • Psychoanalysis believes that symptoms of disorders arise from unconscious conflicts • Came up with way to resolve conflicts

  4. Free Association • Encourages people to speak freely, with little editing of thoughts and fantasies • Freud believed that a “stream of consciousness” would give insight to the patient’s unconscious mind

  5. Role – playing exercise #1

  6. What happens? • Analysis proceeds slowly • People enjoy telling “secrets” they’ve never told anyone else before • Analyst remains neutral

  7. Transference • Patient carries over to the analyst, feelings held toward childhood authority figures • When the patient feels good about the analyst, it is called positive transference

  8. Gaining insight • As therapy progresses, analyst takes active role and beings to interpret or suggest alternative meaning for patients feelings, memories, and actions • The goal of interpretation is to help patients gain insight

  9. Role Playing #2

  10. What else? • Analysis requires a great deal of motivation to change • Analysis usually takes 3 – 5 years • Few can afford such lengthy treatment • Not effective for severely disturbed patients

  11. Client – centered therapy • Carl Rogers: form of therapy that calls for unconditional positive regard of the client by the therapist with the goal of helping the client become fully functioning

  12. Client – centered cntd. • Rogers put responsibility for change on the person with the problem • Uses the term client rather than patient to highlight the more active and equal role in the person in therapy

  13. Rogers’ beliefs • Signs of discomfort arise from conditional positive regard • Therapist try to understand client’s point of view • They are empathetically nondirective(no suggestions, instead reflect on what the person is saying now)

  14. What else? • Active listening • Rogers was concerned with the process rather than stats or outcomes • Lasting contributions about therapist (warmth and understanding)
