Question

Traditional psychoanalysis is based on the interpretation of unconscious conflicts. This approach relied on another completely fallible human being with his or her own unconscious conflict and problems to make accurate interpretations. Comment on how this approach can have legitimacy. Does a contemporary psychoanalytic two-person psychology model offer any improvement in this regard?

Answer 1

Answer:

Initially psychoanalytic theories viewed the patient as a separate individual, and the therapist rarely involved anything except processing the client's knowledge.

Presently, psychoanalytic therapy approaches clients as living human beings and the therapist works directly with clients by encouraging and assisting them to always have intelligent discussions and letting them recognize the value of discussing the experiences and situations that most influenced them during their childhood.

Thus, even the psycho-dynamic counseling has been centered on humans and provides more clinical interaction.
