application: therapeutic techniques and procedures
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Psychodynamic therapy used more supportive interventions such as | reassurance, expressions of empathy and support, and suggestions than psychoanalysis |
| Psychodynamic therapy has more emphasis on | the here-and-now relationship between therapist and client |
| Psychodynamic therapy gives more latitude for | self-disclosure without "polluting the transference" |
| Psychodynamic therapy gives less | emphasis to the therapists neutrality |
| Psychodynamic therapy gives more focus to transference | and counter transference enactments |
| Psychodynamic therapy has more focus on pressing practical concerns than | on working through fantasy material |
| The techniques of psychoanalytic therapy are aimed at | increasing awareness, fostering insights into the client's behaviour and understanding the meanings of symptoms |
| Psychoanalytic therapy proceeds from the client's talk to | catharsis (or expression of emotion), to insight, to working through unconscious material |
| Psychoanalytic therapy's six basic techniques are | maintaining the analytic framework, free association, interpretation, dream analysis, analysis of resistance, and analysis of transference |
| Maintaining the analytic framework | procedural and stylistic factors, such as the analyst's relative anonymity, neutrality and objectivity, and boundary issues |
| Free association | brainstorm while ignoring pain, triviality, logicality and relevance |
| Interpretation (well timed hypothesizing) | pointing out , explaining, teaching meanings of behaviour shown in dreams, free association, resistances and therapeutic relationship |
| Dream analysis | hypothesizing unconscious wishes, needs, and fears |
| Dream's latent content consists of | hidden, symbolic, and unconscious motive, wishes and fears |
| Dream's manifest content | with transformed sexual and aggressive content as dream appears to dreamer |
| Dream work | transforming less threatening manifest content into latent content |
| Analysis and interpretation of resistance | exposes anything that works against the progress of therapy, preventing client producing unconscious material |
| Resistance defends against anxiety but | interferes with the ability to accept change that could be gratifying |
| Through transference the clients express | feeling, beliefs, and desires that may be unconscious and recognize recurrent dynamic patterns |
| In group counseling most members find symbolic | mothers, fathers, sibling and lovers which evoke transference situations |
| Group leaders should pay attention to | biases, countertransference and legitimate emotional expressions |
| All councilors should pay attention to | transference, countertransference, resistance and the use of ego mechanisms |
