The Basics Of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Concept

By Kerri Stout


Life is not always a bed of roses and this means that situations that cause us pain happen more often than we would like. However, not all is lost with the existence of contemporary psychoanalysis. This modern therapy serves to help us deal with situations that bring us down. These issues affect our lives in one way or another and if not properly dealt with may have devastating effects.

The psychoanalysis field has been changing in the past years with incorporation of different fields and works of different scholars. Sigmund Freud was the first scholar to deal with psychoanalysis and is thus usually referred to as the father for this branch of human life. The modern psychoanalysis field deals with self-purpose building, boosting personal growth, giving a pathway to emotional healing and giving a chance for the building of wonderful relationships be it with our neighbors and friends or the entire world.

Each client has their own experiences and uniqueness which the new psychoanalysis methods should try to take in to account. Present day psychoanalysts must understand these experiences of the persons they are dealing in order to give them the best therapy as per their needs and not do it the old style where what the specialist thought should be done for that general case is what was done. They work hand in hand with clients to give the clients an understanding of life through other life examples from other people

Importance is given to the personal experiences and perspectives of the individual seeking healing. These experiences, which are usually unique and most times subjective, give an idea of the purpose of the life of the individual. The analyst does not dictate what the client is to do as is the norm with traditional psychoanalysis.

One to one with the patient is the recommended treatment for patients since privacy is of utter importance making the patient feel free to express their emotions without holding anything. Facial expressions, non-verbal and body movements should be keenly observed as they are ways of communicating and expressing emotions. To enhance privacy, online therapies are picking up which are handled through video conferencing

Some analysts also provide written materials or videos for their clients to help them. These contain advice on how to manage several aspects of their life. It may also cover topics like how to pull through out of emotionally draining experiences. The material is helpful in cases where the client cannot make frequent sessions or just to add onto the knowledge gained from consultation sessions.

There are other materials provided by some analyst to enable a faster healing process. Books and videos offering advice and the different ways of dealing with certain issues may be offered for the benefit of the client. These materials are also important to clients who only manage very few hours of sessions due to busy schedules or to emphasize on the lessons learnt from the personal sessions.

Looking for an analyst need not be a very tasking affair. Their training and skills, level of experiences and membership in psychoanalyst movements need be considered. In addition referrals and testimonies from other people who have dealt with them are important. Life may not always work out as expected. Pain may be inevitable and may be for prolonged durations of time. The effects of this pain may be untold but with modern psychoanalysis the problems should be easily solved.
