Treatment The importance of treatment A minor injury or illness can become more serious if left untreated. Seeking medical attention can help you get the proper treatment and prevent the problem from becoming more serious. Treatment can help a person's condition to improve or help a person to live well, despite the presence of some ongoing symptoms. Psychological treatments can be helpful for people affected by a mental health condition. Psychoanalysis also psychodynamic Psychoanalytic therapy, sometimes called psychodynamic psychotherapy, is a type of talk therapy that grew out of Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is rooted in the idea that much of our behavior is motivated by unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories that remain outside of our everyday awareness. techniques The goal of psychoanalytic therapy is to help the patient identify self-limiting patterns, heal from past experiences, and gain insight into how their unconscious mind influences their behavior. Psychoanalytic therapists use free-flowing conversation, usually in at least one session per week, to accomplish this goal. Freud's therapeutic technique. Freud believed the patient's free associations, resistances, dreams, and transferences-and the therapist's interpretations of them-released previously repressed feelings, allowing the patient to gain self-insight. Behavior therapies It applies learning principles to elimination of unwanted behaviors there's a few techniques such as classical conditioning techniques, exposure therapies , aversives conditioning, and operant conditioning techniques. Classical conditioning techniques learning through association. People or animals are repeatedly exposed to two stimuli, and they learn to associate the two so that they exhibit a new learned response when in the presence of the stimuli And they use counterconditioning behavior therapy procedures that use classical conditioning to evoke new responses to stimuli that are triggering unwanted behaviors; include exposure therapies and aversive conditioning. In 1997 they switch the recommended was exposure therapy Cognitive therapies Therapy that teaches people new, more adaptive ways of thinking; based on the assumption that thoughts intervene between events and our emotional reactions. rational emotive behavior therapy a confrontational cognitive therapy, developed by albert ellis, that vigorously challenges people’s illogical, self defeating attitudes and assumptions Cognitive behavioral therapy a popular integrative therapy that combines cognitive therapy (changing self defeating thinking) with behavioral therapy (changing behavior) Group therapies Group therapies - therapy conducted with group rather than individuals, providing benefits from group interaction. Except for traditional psychoanalysis, most therapies may also occur in small groups. Group therapy does not provide the same degree of therapist involvement with each client. However, it offers other benefits: It saves therapists' time and clients' money, and often is no less effective than individual therapy (Burlingame et al., 2016). It offers a social laboratory for exploring social behaviors and developing social skills. Therapists frequently suggest group therapy for people experiencing frequent conflicts or whose behavior distresses others. The therapist guides people's interactions as they discuss issues and try out new behaviors. It enables people to see that others share their problems. It can be a relief to discover that others, despite their composure, experience some of the same troublesome feelings and behaviors (Ooi et al., 2016). It provides feedback as clients try out new ways of behaving. Hearing that you look poised, even though you feel anxious and self-conscious, can be very reassuring. Family therapy Therapy treats people in the context of their family system. Views an individual unwanted behavior as influenced by, or directed at, other family members. Family therapists tend to view families as systems, in which each person's actions trigger reactions from others. A child's rebellion, for example, affects and is affected by other family tensions. Therapists are often successful in helping family members identify their roles within the family's social system, improve communication, and discover new ways of preventing or resolving conflicts
