Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive (thinking) functions. They also investigate what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Sometimes neuroscience and neurobiology are used to mean the same thing. However, neurobiology looks at the biology of the nervous system, while neuroscience refers to anything to do with the nervous system (ibid). These fields of work are intricately connected with medical research. Whereas a psychodynamic approach is more focused on the subjective meaning of what is going on between people and © Patrick Tomlinson 2021 2 between a person’s internal and external worlds.

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).

  • 3. Helping Relationship Comps Review
    3. Helping Relationship l. Helping relationships Considerable research evidence suggests that the relationship in counseling is the determining factor whether or not counseling is successful. Theories of counseling provide the underlying philosophy and strategies for building and maintaining this relationship. Four key elements in building this relationship are: 1. Human relations core: empathy, respect and genuineness as identified by Carl Rogers. 2. Social influence core: competence, power and intimacy. Expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness were identified by Stanley Strong in his social influence model. 3. Skills core: Allen Ivey identified microskills-communication skill units such as attending, inquiry and reflection. 4. Theory core: These help the counselor understand self and interpersonal relationships and skills. They also help to understand the problems of clients and help to choose interventions that are likely to be effective with the identified problems. 2. Psychoanalytic (Sigmund Freud) Freud identified a structure of personality: Id: Unconscious motivation or energy is the id ruled by the pleasure principle. Ego: The ego is controlled by the reality principle Superego: the superego is internalized ethics. Therapy techniques include: Free association Interpretation of dreams and other client material. Transference (projections onto therapist) must be worked through. Countertransference consists of projections of the therapist onto the patient. 3. Neo-Freudians A number of psychoanalysts moved away from Freud's emphasis on the id as the dominant psychological force and placed more emphasis on the ego, including both psychodynamic and sociodynamic forces. Karen Horney: Security is each person's major motivation and the person becomes anxious when it is not achieved. Irrational ways to mend disrupted human relationships may become neurotic needs.

Asya Tsarkova Exploring Clinicians’ Experience of Countertransference in Play Therapy ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore clinicians’ experience of countertransference in play therapy. Through semi-structured individual interviews with twelve clinicians, narrative data was collected on the ways in which clinicians experience, process, and utilize countertransference in play therapy. Some of the findings of this study support previous research and theoretical literature on countertransference in the field of child psychotherapy. Additionally, this study’s findings introduce the possibility that specific aspects of play therapy have a unique effect on the experience and processing of countertransference in play therapy due to the nature of this therapeutic modality.

  • Transference and Countertransference
    Washington Center for Psychoanalysis Psychoanalytic Studies Program, 2018-2019 TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE 18 December 2018- 19 March 2019 Tuesday: 5:30-6:45 Faculty: David Joseph and Pavel Snejnevski “I believe it is ill-advised, indeed impossible, to treat transference and countertransference as separate issues. They are two faces of the same dynamic rooted in the inextricable intertwining with others in which individual life originates and remains throughout the life of the individual in numberless elaborations, derivatives, and transformations. One of the transformations shows itself in the encounter of the psychoanalytic situation.” Hans Loewald Transference and Countertransference OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE Although it was first formulated by Freud, transference, as we currently understand it, is integral to all meaningful human relationships. In a treatment relationship characterized by the therapist’s professional but friendly interest, relative anonymity, neutrality regarding how patients conduct their lives, non-judgmental attitude, and a shared conviction that associating freely and speaking without censorship will best facilitate the goals of the treatment, patients come to experience the therapist in ways that are powerfully and unconsciously shaped by aspects of earlier important relationships. The patient is often not aware that he is “transferring” these earlier experiences to the therapist but is also often completely unaware of “transferred” reactions to the therapist that only become manifest as the treatment relationship develops. Laboratory experiments in animals demonstrate neurophysiological processes that cast light on the processes that contribute to transference reactions in humans. If a rat is trained to respond negatively to the sound of a bell that is paired with an electric shock, recordings from a single cell in the structure of the brain that responds to fear will indicate nerve firing.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is almost exactly one hundred years since the popular and not merely academic dissemination of Buddhism in the West began. During this time a dialogue has grown up between Buddhism and the Western discipline of psychotherapy. It is the contention of this work that Buddhist philosophy and praxis have much to offer a contemporary psychotherapy. Firstly, in general, for its long history of the experiential exploration of mind and for the practices of cultivation based thereon, and secondly, more specifically, for the relevance and resonance of specific Buddhist doctrines to contemporary problematics. Thus, this work attempts, on the basis of a three-way conversation between Buddhism, psychotherapy and various themes from contemporary discourse, to suggest a psychotherapy that may be helpful and relevant to the current horizons of thought and contemporary psychopathologies which are substantially different from those prevalent at the time of psychotherapy's early years.

  • The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies
    SPIRITUAL PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING spiritualpc.net / 2020 Volume: 5 Number: 1 Original Article The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies Hasan Kütük1 Ph.D. Candidate 1 Ph.D. Candidate, Marmara University, İstanbul, 34722, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The concept of spirituality has started being included in therapy settings due to the new paradigms showing developments in the world of psychology in the late 20th century and in the 21st century. When examining the literature, many articles and books are seen to have been published related to the topic, and most of the studies have been carried out abroad. These performed studies have contributed new concepts and information to the literature by revealing how the concept of spirituality can be integrated with family therapies. This study has been prepared for the purposes of drawing the attention of researchers who conduct studies in Turkey based on systemic family therapy and of specialists who plan therapy sessions based the relevant theory to the topic and to provide the literature with a topic that finds no examples in the literature of Turkey. How the concept of spirituality can be used in harmony with the systemic family therapy approach and what the techniques of the spirituality-based systemic family therapy are have been prepared by being based on the many studies that have been published abroad. Before beginning the study, theoretical information and basic concepts primarily about systemic family therapies are provided, and then it moves on to spirituality-oriented systemic family therapy by briefly mentioning the concept of spirituality. How the concept of spirituality can be applied to systemic family therapy and the points and ethical situations to which counselors need to pay attention are also mentioned.

  • The Poetry of Loving: Family Therapy and the Bahá'í Faith
    Published in Bahá’í Studies Notebook Vol. 3, number 1-2 (1983) © Association for Bahá’í Studies 1983 The Poetry of Loving: Family Therapy and the Bahá’í Faith Michael Bruwer* Writing about the unification of mankind, Shoghi Effendi said: This will indeed be the fitting climax of that process of integration which, starting with the family, the smallest unit in the scale of human organization, must, after having called successively into being the tribe, the city state and the nation, continue to operate until it culminates in the unification of the whole world, the final object and the crowning glory of human evolution on this planet.1 Let us take a look at this smallest unit—the family—and at family therapy, a way of helping this unit when it is in difficulty. The Family The family is an archetypal pattern of human relationships; is deeply imprinted in us via all sensory modalities; is the most basic bio psycho social Tarot deck of one’s life; is nucleus and pattern; is context (and behaviour is ambiguous out of context); is an internalized set of relationships;2 is like a hologram in the memory and experience of each member of the family is represented the entire family and the ghosts of the previous generations; is a complex of always and only coexisting entities of which the existence of one generates the other—you do not have a husband without a wife, a son without a father, a sibling without another sibling;3 shares a shifting role with the child as the smallest unit of society—the child is in the family and the family is in the child; is the valve through which the generations of humanity flow from all mankind in the past to all mankind in the future; and is a metaphor for the whole human race and for the family of nations.
