Running Head: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Name: University: Course: Tutor: Date: Introduction This paper is intended to discuss the psychoanalytic theory as developed by Sigmund Feud. The paper will also discuss the differences between the relational and isolated-mind view of human and emotion distress. I will also discuss the Heinz Kohut’s psychology of the self. I will also take time to highlight the differences between a theory that understands emotional distress as emanating from the inside of the patient alone versus theories that understand distress as emanating from the relational contexts in which self objects needs are not being met.

The use of psychodynamic therapy focuses on the unconscious mind, its struggles with reconciling one’s biological existence with their social existence and the affects these struggles have on a person’s psychological well being helping them to be more conscious of these struggles and how to react to them. Humanistic-existential therapy focuses on what seems to be the opposite of psychodynamic therapy in that it deals more with the conscious mind of an individual. This serves to give one the ability to express their feelings in dealing with what is currently happening in their lives. Behavior therapy is a more physical therapy in helping those with phobias or addictions often forcing them to face their fears with action. Cognitive therapy has focus more in shaping one’s beliefs and/or attitudes.

The psychodynamic approach highlights the importance of the unconscious mind and early childhood experiences. Psychodynamic psychologist’s attempt to deal with the mental health issues of their patients by incorporating these ideas and creating therapies using these ideas. The basic concept behind psychoanalysis is that a patient that suffers from mental health problems such as depression can address any regressed feelings thus, the patient gains insight of and can learn to work through their emotional baggage. It is a generalised concept that if the cause of the symptoms were tackled it would only be logical that the symptoms would then cease.

Initially developed as a model for depression, Beck & Emery (1985) adapted the cognitive model and turned it’s turned its application to anxiety disorders. Today there are a number of cognitive models for treating a range of
Evaluate the Role of Behavior Therapy Theories in Clinical Hypnosis Introduction There is a strong link between behavioral therapy and hypnobehavioral treatments as applied in clinical hypnosis. Behavioral therapy, which is also commonly known as behaviorism, is a school of thought designed around several theories that focus on the role of experience to govern behavior. On the other hand, hypnobehavioral treatments are the application of the techniques of behavioral therapy in clinical hypnosis.

This essay aims at evaluating the role of these theories in the hypnobehavioral treatments of unwanted habits and anxiety conditions.

Purely physiological explanations for mental illnesses tend toward assuming that what happens in the chemistry of the brain should replace what is sometimes called the “mind.” But psychological explanations of depression emphasize that the mind and body are distinct. Though psychologists usually recognize the affect of the brain on the mind, they tend to emphasize personal experiences, ways of thinking and learned behavior. Many of the proposed psychological causes for depression could also be explained or understood in terms of underlying spiritual issues. We will consider this below, but in this section the terms are laid out as they are explained by secular psychologists. Psychoanalytical Explanations.
Analysis Paper on “Pursued by Happiness and Beaten Senseless.” According to the Collins English Dictionary alienation is defined, in terms of psychiatry, as a state in which a person's feelings are inhibited, so that eventually both the self and the external world seem unreal. In his paper “Pursued by Happiness and Beaten Senseless,” Carl Elliot supports his theory that psychiatry prescribes anti-depressant drugs such as Prozac to wrongfully treat alienation, an issue that our American society has created for itself. Alienation is rooted within our society and is wrongfully treated as an internal problem. Elliot describes three types of alienation that occur commonly within our society and challenges the use of Prozac in mending an individual’s
