Maila Travaini August 25, 2013 Psychodynamic Approaches Comparison Essay In the counseling world today understanding psychodynamic approaches is more crucial than ever in the assessment and treatment of any psychological issue.

I will discuss the similarities as well difference’s and why these forms of therapy are critical in the assessment and treatment of clients.
There are many different types of control that are experienced throughout any given person’s lifetime. There is being the person in control, being controlled by someone else, and even being controlled by one’s self. Each position has an effect on surrounding people and the mental state of the being. Within the texts, Macbeth, “And of Clay we are Created,” “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and “To Build a Fire,” the influence of control is always there, but appears in different forms.
Repression Pulling into the unconscious E.g. Forgetting a traumatic event Displacement Taking out impulses on a less threatening target E.g. Taking out anger from work upon your family Sublimation Acting out unacceptable impulses in a socially acceptable way E.g. A sadist becomes a surgeon to fulfil needs to hurt people This view is very broad when covering the human personality, and had huge followings at times. Many psychologists agree that we are influenced by instinct and
control not only our actions but also our thoughts. We are born and raised doing and believing
In the world there are two distinct types of things. There are things that exist external to us, such as one's reputation or a relationship. We do not have direct control over these things since they exist outside of us. Then there are internal things that we do have control over, like out desires, or things we dislike. The internal things can be controlled, while the external can be harder to control. Some philosophers even believe that the external things cannot be controlled, and attempting to control them will just bring unhappiness.
Although the previous controls have been quite concrete, there is a more abstract control humans face everyday: the control of time. A person’s perception of time is limited by what other people allow him to believe about it. When a person’s time is limited under the control of other people, he is unsure of how to manage in regular life because of how abnormal it seems in comparison. In Breakfast of Champions, an ex-convict is let out of jail. This sounds like freedom, but through the control he was under for all those years in jail, he now does not know what to do, “I had Wayne Hoobler, the black ex-convict, stand bleakly among the garbage cans… and examine the currency which had been given to him at the prison gate… He had nothing else to
We control a really big portion of what we do. What we do is what we get. When can't just lay down and expect it to be done. What we do is what we control. We control our fitness and achieve goals that we set ourselves to do. We can't control most of the health problems that we are born with, such as if you were born paralyzed you can't control that.
(Tyler Uberstine) An individual is responsible for the situations that occur within their life, namely their psychological decisions and the examination of their own conscience. However, the circumstances and external factors on an event can really shift the responsibility from the individual to an extraneous force. When one’s “locus of
‘‘Who is in Control?’ Reaction Report ‘Who is in Control?’ explains unconscious activity and what it looks like and also asking the question if we are actually in control of our life? This video really seemed to live up to its title. Dr. Eagleman once again blew my mind with this video.
There are some human phenomena, which seem to be the result of individual actions and personal decisions. Yet, these phenomena are often - on closer inspection –
Outer controls consist of people who influence us not to deviate like family members, friends that truly do care about our well-being, and law enforcement officials, while our inner controls are our own conscience, religious principles we practice and believe in, feelings of integrity, the concept of honor and the desire to be an overall good person. People who have less effective outer controls like the family tends to deviate, therefore the stronger our bonds with society and our social groups like family and friends, the more effective our inner-controls are. Strong self-control is learned through socialization. Societal bonds are attachments which is our affection and respect for people who conform to norms, commitments which is having a stake in society and not wanting to risk it, involvements which is participation in approved activities and beliefs which are convictions that certain actions are morally
Although the process of “psychoanalysis is different from HCAP”, both have some commonalities, such as, they both attempt to help an individual achieve behavioral charge and make the necessary changes to the way they view their life and the world (Barclay, 2016, p. 80). Furthermore, when the HCAP model is
According to Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz, Henry P. Stapp, and Mario Beauregard, who are researchers in the field of neuroscience and quantum physics, the mind creates a causative effect through the brains’ neural-mechanism—thus through material matter—and this in turn creates an interaction. Consequently, these interactions—call it volition if you will—affect the atoms, matter and molecules of our material existence. Consequently, only through quantum physics can one know how these substances comingle with each other to create a seamless interaction that can either have positive or negative consequences to our existence. In philosophical terms, this theory also pertains to our experiential existence; thus, it has implications for our day-to-day life (2). Classical physics mainly deals with formulas and sets of equations that describe our world in macromolecular terms; however, quantum physics is concerned with the more intimate aspects of casual
