  • Development of Research Designs for Investigating Concepts of Analytical Psychology and the Efficacy/Effectiveness of Jungian Psychotherapy
    Development of research designs for investigating concepts of Analytical Psychology and the efficacy/effectiveness of Jungian psychotherapy Prof. Dr. Christian Roesler Professor of Clinical Psychology With assistance from Julia Engelhardt Telefon +49 761 200-1513 Fax +49 761 200-1496 E-Mail: [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________ Karlstraße 63 79104 Freiburg www.kh-freiburg.de 2 1. Introduction Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) is one of the founding fathers of modern psychotherapy. After some years of collaboration with Freud at the beginning of the 20th century, Jung broke ties with Freud in 1912 and developed his own psychoanalytic approach, later called Analytical Psychology (AP). Jung had a major influence on the development of psychotherapy. His use of creative techniques made him the founder of art therapy methods; he was the first to use techniques of imagination to influence the inner world of patients, a method that has recently been adopted in a number of psychotherapy approaches (e.g., the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder); and he was the first to postulate that in the training of psychoanalysts there should be an extensive training analysis. In spite of this influence and the fact that Jungian psychotherapy is well established all over the world in mental health care as well as in training structures, there are few publications on the empirical foundations of Jungian psychology and the effectiveness of Jungian psychotherapy. Although Jungian psychotherapy has a long history and has been practiced for more than 100 years, the Jungian approach has long been criticized for a lack of proof of its effectiveness.

PREFACE PHILOSOPHY Therapeutic work with families is a recent scientific phenomenon but an ancient art. Throughout human history, designated persons in all cultures have helped couples and families cope, adjust, and grow. In the United States, the interest in assisting families within a healing context began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Family life has always been of interest, but because of economic, social, political, and spiritual val- ues, outsiders made little direct intervention, except for social work, into ways of helping family functioning until the 1950s. Now, there are literally thousands of professionals who focus their attention and skills on improving family dynamics and relationships. In examining how professionals work to assist families, the reader should keep in mind that there are as many ways of offering help as there are kinds of families. How- ever, the most widely recognized methods are counseling, therapy, educational enrich- ment, and prevention. The general umbrella term for remediation work with families is family therapy . This concept includes the type of work done by family professionals who identify themselves by different titles, including marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, pastoral counselors, and clergy. Family therapy is not a perfect term; it is bandied about by a number of professional associations, such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

  • Benefits, Limitations, and Potential Harm in Psychodrama
    Benefits, Limitations, and Potential Harm in Psychodrama (Training) © Copyright 2005, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2016 Rob Pramann, PhD, ABPP (Group Psychology) CCCU Training in Psychodrama, Sociometry, and Group Psychotherapy This article began in 2005 in response to a new question posed by the Utah chapter of NASW on their application for CEU endorsement. “If any speaker or session is presenting a fairly new, non-traditional or alternative approach, please describe the limitations, risks and/or benefits of the methods taught.” After documenting how Psychodrama is not a fairly new, non-traditional or alternative approach I wrote the following. I have made minor updates to it several times since. As a result of the encouragement, endorsement, and submission of it by a colleague it is listed in the online bibliography of psychodrama http://pdbib.org/. It is relevant to my approach to the education/training/supervision of Group Psychologists and the delivery of Group Psychology services. It is not a surprise that questions would be raised about the benefits, limitations, and potential harm of Psychodrama. J.L. Moreno (1989 – 1974) first conducted a psychodramatic session on April 1, 1921. It was but the next step in the evolution of his philosophical and theological interests. His approach continued to evolve during his lifetime. To him, creativity and (responsible) spontaneity were central. He never wrote a systematic overview of his approach and often mixed autobiographical and poetic material in with his discussion of his approach. He was a colorful figure and not afraid of controversy (Blatner, 2000). He was a prolific writer and seminal thinker.

  • Clinical Versus Counseling Psychology: What's the Diff? by John C
    Clinical Versus Counseling Psychology: What's the Diff? by John C. Norcross - University of Scranton, Fields of Psychology Graduate School The majority of psychology students applying to graduate school are interested in clinical work, and approximately half of all graduate degrees in psychology are awarded in the subfields of clinical and counseling psychology (Mayne, Norcross, & Sayette, 2000). But deciding on a health care specialization in psychology gets complicated. The urgent question facing each student--and the question frequently posed to academic advisors--is "What are the differences between clinical psychology and counseling psychology?" Or, as I am asked in graduate school workshops, "What's the diff?" This article seeks to summarize the considerable similarities and salient differences between these two psychology subfields on the basis of several recent research studies. The results can facilitate your informed choice in the application process, enhance matching between the specialization and your interests, and sharpen the respective identities of psychology training programs. Considerable Similarities The distinctions between clinical psychology and counseling psychology have steadily faded in recent years, leading many to recommend a merger of the two. Graduates of doctoral- level clinical and counseling psychology programs are generally eligible for the same professional benefits, such as psychology licensure, independent practice, and insurance reimbursement. The American Psychological Association (APA) ceased distinguishing

What are the main differences between Clinical Psychology and Counseling? Although roles and practices overlap, training in clinical psychology focuses more on treating individuals with psychopathology. Counseling traditionally focuses more on common issues that psychologically healthy individuals encounter, such as stress, grief, and vocational guidance, even though “clinical mental health counseling” programs sound a lot like clinical psychology. Clinical psychology programs typically base training on psychological science, and are situated in departments alongside other psychology programs at universities. Conversely, counseling programs are typically situated within departments of education. Counseling programs can prepare students to pursue an LPC license (see answer 3 below), whereas our clinical psychology program allows students the choice of training toward an LPC or an LPA, which some students may prefer (see answer 4 below). When choosing your preference, it may help to review programs’ specific curriculum and available practicum and internship opportunities and settings. For example, moving forward, both licenses (LPC and LPA) will require at least 60 hours of specific coursework. Also, you may find it informative to read about distinctions between clinical psychotherapy and counseling philosophies and practices, which is beyond the scope of this brief FAQ.

  • Family Therapy Techniques Working with Challenging Families
    Family Therapy Techniques Working with Challenging Families Presented by: Dara Gasior, PsyD Director of Assessment and Training Definition of Family Therapy Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that involves all members of a nuclear family or stepfamily and, in some cases, members of the extended family (e.g., grandparents). A therapist or team of therapists conducts multiple sessions to help families deal with important issues that may interfere with the functioning of the family and the home environment. highfocuscenters.com A Note on Families • Families can differ in structure, make up and number • Families have their own rules, values and language- and these matter when treating them • The therapist needs to understand who is in the family as well as the rules, values and family language • Cultural factors and multigenerational patterns have strong influences on families; what differs is how much and in what manner the therapist explores and addresses these Specific Goals of Family Therapy Facilitate and improve communication Shift and change inflexible roles, rules and coalitions Model, educate and myth dispelling Strengthen the family system Understand and handle challenging family situations Increase separation and individuation of family members Strengthen the relationship between parents Solve family problems and improve home environment Examples of When/How to Use Family Treatment For families with one member who has a serious physical or mental illness, family therapy can educate families about the illness and work out problems associated with care of the family member. For children and adolescents, family therapy most often is used when the child or adolescent has a personality, anxiety, or mood disorder that impairs their family and social functioning, and when a stepfamily is formed or begins having difficulties adjusting to new family life.
