Effectiveness of Psychotherapy• Psychotherapy is more effective than no
treatment at all.• From 75 to 90 percent of people who receive
therapy improve, the longer a person stays in therapy the better the improvement, and psychotherapy works as well alone as with drugs.
• Some types of psychotherapy are more effective for certain types of problems, and no one psychotherapy method is effective for all problems.– Effective therapy should be matched to the particular
client and the particular problem,

Freud’s Psychoanalysis• Psychoanalysis - an insight therapy
based on the theory of Freud, emphasizing the revealing of unconscious conflicts.– Dream interpretation• Manifest content – the actual content of one’s
dream.• Latent content – the symbolic or hidden meaning
of dreams.– Free association – Freudian technique in
which a patient was encouraged to talk about anything that came to mind without fear of negative evaluations.
![Page 26: Therapy Theories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56813df2550346895da7cd9f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Freud’s Psychoanalysis• Resistance - occurring when a patient
becomes reluctant to talk about a certain topic, either changing the subject or becoming silent.• Transference - in psychoanalysis, the
tendency for a patient or client to project positive or negative feelings for important people from the past onto the therapist.
![Page 27: Therapy Theories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56813df2550346895da7cd9f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Psychoanalysis Today• Psychodynamic therapy - a newer and more
general term for therapies based on psychoanalysis, with an emphasis on transference, shorter treatment times, and a more direct therapeutic approach.
• Nondirective - therapy style in which the therapist remains relatively neutral and does not interpret or take direct actions with regard to the client, instead remaining a calm, nonjudgmental listener while the client talks.
• Directive - therapy in which the therapist actively gives interpretations of a client’s statements and may suggest certain behavior or actions. Psychoanalysis today is more directive.
