Thesis Of Transference In Teaching

I went to college to get my communications degree. My whole life, I always desired to observe how people communicate with each other. When I was ten, I would go to many public places just to observe people to understand how people communicate with each other. I always studied the way people interact with another person. Some people interact with people in ways that they know of. The way people interact with another person is influenced by other people and their families. When we interact with our clients, we need to foster change in our clients. Therapists need to apply techniques in ways that it would help our client, not what we know of, personally. Keep in mind that people affect people, it would be important to communicate and interact with people in ways that it would be good for our clients. As we see clients, I know that our ways of interaction will change, and we can teach our clients what we learned in both personal and professional

n this essay, I will provide a critical analysis of the concept of transference within psychodynamic psychotherapy. I will begin with a discussion into the development of the psychodynamic paradigm and psychoanalysis and how it has developed from its original founder Sigmund Freud to the influence it has in therapy within the modern present day. The essay will go on to explore the techniques used specifically within psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Freud then discusses, “The phenomenon of thought transference, which is very close to telepathy..”(page 49). Thought transference can be described as the mental process in a person, the ideas, emotional states, and conative impulses, which can be transferred to someone without using any communication, signs or languages. Freud relates cases of patients who have performed thought transference they include, a man who is in love with his sister and he wants to marry her, a woman who couldn’t conceive children with her husband and that was what was keeping her from happiness, and a young man who was abusive and wanted a wife but just wasn’t happy with what he had. Freud believes these patients went through thought transference, and those patients went through dream interpretation and psychoanalysis in general assist occultism(page 58). Freud’s next part of his lecture was about a long case study involving “Herr P.” which was another one of Freud’s patients that was experiencing thought transference, he was having erotic relations with women, because of this patient Freud does believe thought transference does exist and people are experiencing it. Freud goes on to tell another story then brings it all back to psychoanalysis, which is where it all started from.

Bailly, Lionel. Lacan: A Beginner's Guide. Nook file, Oneworld Publications, 2009. This is a book written by Lionel Bailly, a Psychoanalyst, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who teaches on the subject of Jacques Lacan and is a member of the Association Lacanienne Internationale, an organization that continues the work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. Its purpose is to break down the major theories of Jacques Lacan on a level that is accessible

Throughout this first lesson, many modern perspectives were discussed such as Sociocultural and Humanistic perspectives. But as I delved into this first lesson, I was very intrigued by Psychodynamic Psychology. Freud based his theory on the unconscious areas of our behavior, which is how he came up with the term psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is defined as a system of psychotherapeutic theories and association techniques that determine behavior, motivation, drive, conflicts and unresolved issues in the latent unconscious that show up in the manifest consciousness (Psychoanalysis 1.08.5). His theory was on developing yourself and finding out the motivations behind someone's behavior (Exploration of the Science of Psychology 10.1). His theory

Sigmund Freud believed that counter-transference was problematic and needed to be managed by the therapist. In his book entitled Future Prospects of Psychoanalytic Therapy, Freud stated that the therapist must learn to

The best part of this technique is when the learner reflects another question back to the class and the teacher. This is a demonstration of the learner processing the information and thinking ahead and probing for more information.

Freud found that all types of transference was indispensable for the therapist in understanding their client’s unconscious memories or wishes and gaining insight

Psychoanalytic approach/theory is based on upper-class and middle-class values and the financial values of people who are not as wealthy could afford the treatments. This theory/approach establishes special programs to meet the community needs at a low public fee. The program is open to children who lost their parents and for teachers

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is such a nature as to demand thinking or the intentional noting of connections; learning results naturally. (Dewey, 1916, p. 160)

The main difference between the Adlerian approach and the Psychoanalytic approach deals with the stance the therapist takes. In the Psychoanalytic approach , the therapist sits back and gives the client the right to express himself without any resistance. Since transference is a big issue with this approach, and the client can develop projections toward the therapist(Corey, 2013, pg. 481), so it is important for the therapist to remain neutral. Transference interpretation helps our clients by enabling them to see broad patterns of fantasies, interactions and object relations that they had never put together before(Howes, 2010). This approach goes against the philosophy of counseling because the therapist take a back seat, while the client takes the wheel and counseling should be more about an integrative approach. On the other hand the Psychoanalytic approach is based on mutual respect and the importance of goals. Focus is on identifying, exploring and disclosing mistaken goals and faulty assumptions within the persons lifestyle(Corey, 2013, pg. 481), and this approach shows the importance of a therapist who uses more guidance to identify those objectives.

Counselor Concerns: Transference, Countertransference, And Resistance Much of Sigmund Freud’s concepts have been maligned since he first developed and presented them to the world. Some are not perhaps as discussed as the ideas that remain steeped in controversy, nevertheless, many of his concepts are widely accepted, embraced, and in use to this day. Among these (many) concepts, is that of transference and countertransference. While his initial concept of these phenomena has been tweaked in later years, Freud at first believed these to be a hindrance to therapy, but later saw them as a therapeutic tool of value (Storr, 1980, as cited by Pipes & Davenport, 1999). Freud saw the clinical utility in having insight into a client’s unconscious

The psychology theorists of the past have shaped the classrooms of the present. There are many theorists that have affected the teaching styles of today and a theorist that has had a major impact is Lev Vygotsky. Vygotsky’s work interests me much because his concepts and ideas encompass many of the ways in which teachers teach in today’s classrooms. The ideas he presented have contoured the strategies of teachers. It is interesting to look into the reasons why teachers have adopted some of the strategies they use and many of those reasons are formed from the original ideas of Vygotsky.

Psychoanalytic, I work with many clients and help them express their mental health, the root of their capacity relates with the conscious and unconscious psychological processes. I strongly believe in Freud’s Psychoanalytic perspective in exploring the unconscious mind to understand.

Psychoanalysis is a therapy and also a theory which was produced by Sigmund Freud. This therapy stress that human behavior and emotion are unconsciously cause by their past experience and drive in the unconscious part and the client doesn’t know them. The therapist always uses this therapy to help the client understand more emotion and
