Psychoanalysis Philosophies and Practices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798885309745)

Counselling theories and techniques can be used by those with a specific emotional concern as well as those who simply want to explore themselves. Understanding why we are the way we are often brings with it a sense of well-being and a stronger sense of self. As counselling techniques are considered one of the more long-term counselling techniques types, it is perhaps less useful for those seeking quick, solution-focused therapies. Psychoanalytic therapy is a gradual process that takes time; however the results can be life changing. Some believe due to the nature of the therapy, psychoanalytic work is better suited to more general concerns such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, sexual issues or low self-esteem. Phobias, social shyness and difficulties sleeping are further examples of areas that could be addressed within psychoanalytic therapy. Critics have pointed out that the therapy may not be as useful to those with more specific or obsession-based concerns such as obsessive compulsive behavior, as you may be too concerned by your actions to participate fully. This Book can halp you and guied in further studies about the counselling theories and techniques.
