To help us slowly become aware of unconscious impulses; by bringing unconscious impulses to awareness, we’re able to manage them, because even when they are outside awareness, primitive impulses can still act on us in an indirect and destructive manner

41
Q

Projection

A

42
Q

Reaction Formation

A

When it is too dangerous to directly express aggression toward someone, the individual may behave in an excessively loving way

43
Q

Implications of Freud’s Theory for Psychotherapy & Counseling

A

Clients are affected by the traces of unconscious memories left over from childhood
Unconscious memories are acted out and acted on, rather than directly recalled
Clients can project child-parent relationship dynamics onto the therapist (transferrence)
Therapists can also project their childhood relationship patterns onto the client (countertransference)
Transference and countertransference tend to be unconscious, automatic, and repetitive; characterized by inappropriate intensity,
Repetitive quality of inappropriately applying old relationship dynamics is described as repetition-compulsion
Clients often resist therapy because they see it as threatening through defense mechanism
For therapy to succeed, resistances and transference must be understood through some form of interpretation; When this process proceeds smoothly, the client’s ego or self is stengthened and greater insight can be tolerated because of greater ego control

44
Q

Rationalization

A

Occurs when clients use excessive explanations to account for their behavior

45
Q

Regression

A

Involves going back to an old, less sophisticated method of doing things

50
Q

Object Relations Theory

Therapist interprets resistance
Therapist is imperfect and will fail to provide client’s wish and need for perfect empathy and will not be a perfect figure for idealizing
Client retreat from intimacy with therapist
Therapist’s deficiencies and failures are not of traumatic proportions then this retreat can be interpreted in conjunction with the therapist’s acknowledgement of his or her failures
Failures, if handed well, will be optimal failures and new self structure will be acquired and existing ones will be firmed

Empathic understanding and the repeated working thourhg of optimal failures in empathy constitute the basic therapeutic unit of treatment.

Choose, with the client, a mutually agreeable and reasonable focus for therapy
