Personality is fundamental to the study of psychology. In this unit we will introduce the theory of Personality based on Psychodynamic approach. The term psychodynamic refers to a wide group of theories that emphasise the overriding influence of instinctive drives and forces, and the importance of development experiences in shaping personality. Early in their development, these theories focused solely on the influence of unconscious drives and forces, but they received much criticism and subsequent revision. Most recent psychodynamic theory places greater emphasis on conscious experience and its interaction with the unconscious, in addition to the role that social factors play in development. Psychodynamic theories are in basic agreement that the study of human behaviour should include factors such as internal processes, personality, motivation and drives, and the importance of childhood experiences. Classic theories about the role of the unconscious sexual and aggressive drives have been re-evaluated to focus on conscious experience, resulting in, for example, the birth of ego psychology. -

An "Authentic Wholeness" Synthesis of Jungian and Existential Analysis Samuel Minier Wittenberg University Eclectic approaches to psychotherapy often lack cohesion due to the focus on technique and procedure rather than theory and wholeness of both the person and of the therapy. A synthesis of Jungian and existential therapies overcomes this trend by demonstrating how two theories may be meaningfully integrated The consolidation of the shared ideas among these theories reveals a notion of "authentic wholeness' that may be able to stand on its own as a therapeutic objective. Reviews of both analytical and existential psychology are given. Differences between the two are discussed, and possible reconciliation are offered. After noting common elements in these shared approaches to psychotherapy, a hypothetical therapy based in authentic wholeness is explored. Weaknesses and further possibilities conclude the proposal In the last thirty years, so-called "pop Van Dusen (1962) cautions that the differences among psychology" approaches to psychotherapy have existential theorists are vital to the understanding of effectively demonstrated the dangers of combining existentialism, that "[when] existential philosophy has disparate therapeutic elements. -

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. -

Looking to the future, the BPF’s ambition is to grow and develop the organisation as both a training provider and professional membership body but – crucially at the same time– addressing further the organisation’s pattern of operational losses each year inherited from the original merged organisations (although reduced somewhat over the last year or so). -

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
InSight: RIVIER ACADEMIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 7, NUMBER 1, SPRIING 2011 PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR DISPLAYED IN THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT: VIEWS WITHIN A PRIVATE COUNSELING Jillian Pizzi* M.A. Program in Mental Health Counseling, Rivier College Abstract This research paper will discuss the basics of therapy while providing insight to the patterns of behavior displayed by various clients that have become apparent over the course of this semester. The setting is a private counseling practice in New Hampshire. The participants are clients that have chosen this facility for treatment (men, women, teens and children of all ages and ethnicities) and the initial questions will pertain to the topic of study, noted above. The research literature, actual research, conceptual framework, and summary will follow. Introduction By definition, a pattern is “1.) one worthy of imitation, 2.) plan used in making things, 3.) a design and 4.) usual behavior, procedure” (Goldman, 2000, p. 285). These definitions are connected in many ways with the author’s research interest; patterns of behavior people display while in therapeutic treatment. The focus of the research completed is the clientele of LMR Counseling & Associates (name changed due to confidentiality), which were observed while in treatment. The research question explored in this paper is, “How do people respond to positive, as well as negative feedback from their therapist?” Historical Perspective Modern psychological therapies trace their history back to the work of Sigmund Freud of Vienna in the 1880s. Trained as a neurologist, Freud entered private practice in 1886 and by 1896 had developed a method of working with hysterical patients, which he called “psychoanalysis” (Milhauser, 2008). -
Dialogues with Fear. Active Imagination As Healer of So-Called Panic Attacks
Dialogues with Fear. Active Imagination as Healer of So-Called Panic Attacks Diana Arias H. Tema: Psicología Artículo Introduction. States of extreme fear, or so-called panic attacks, are episodes that have a psychic purpose and meaning to people who experience them. The common suggestion for those individuals is “breathe deeply,” which helps to regulate dreadful anxiety in the body. I suggest the idea of facing fear, letting it manifest through the image. In 1935 C.G. Jung developed a therapeutic method that was born through experimentation with his own images, during the phase of confrontation with his unconscious: active imagination. The technique allows dialogue between the unconscious and the conscious mind, facilitating the integration of the incomprehensible contents in order to uphold the process of individuation. Active imagination might be a significant method to heal extreme fear, allowing for expressions of the unknown, and opening the door to new understandings. Active Imagination as Healer of So-Called Panic Attacks Most do not believe that anxiety itself brings meaning. As in many psychic states in which there are plenty of emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions, anxiety, from a general perspective, is an unpleasant moment accompanied by fear, uneasiness, and tension. In life, people find themselves in different situations that put them against dark walls of fear. These experiences are common to humanity; everyone confronts the many diverse challenges that life brings. There is a natural predisposition to experience new situations with a certain amount of anxiety. However, not all experience the same intensity of anxiety: anxiety will lead individuals to undergo a natural state of anxiety or an extreme depletion of life energy, the latter turning into a strong and deep energy that seems destructive, coming from an unknown source. -
