Treatment technique

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Treatment technique is called the psychoanalytic knowledge and tools that are used in the treatment of neurosis and psychosis . In addition to pathology , treatment technology is the most important theoretical block in training as a psychoanalyst.

The basic rule of the treatment technique is the free association of the analysand and its counterpart, on the part of the analyst, the evenly suspended attention . Further central elements are clarification, confrontation and interpretation , whereby interpretation in psychoanalytic work not only relates to dreams , but also deals with current experiences and past events. Also important are the attitude and empathy of the psychoanalyst and the framework in which the treatment takes place (the setting ). The practitioner should also have the ability to understand the scenes and to hold onto in stressful and crisis situations ( containment and support).

Finally, transference is the process by which people transfer known - often unconscious - patterns, feelings , expectations and fears to new relationships. In psychoanalysis, for example, an early father-son conflict or a problematic relationship with the mother is often repeated, which should then be worked through in the therapeutic process . As countertransference those emotions are called, which one analysand or patient triggers the psychoanalyst.
