What is
therapy? Is a verbal interaction between trained professional and patient that
needs help to a psychological problem, also known as Psychotherapy; Some of the
Psychological therapies even require the use of certain drugs like the
Biological Therapy. The whole point of Psychotherapy is to make the think of
new perspectives to their problem for them to find a solution, and when people
go to a therapy it is because they feel alone and what a Psychologist must do
is to be his friend.
Psychologists
have several techniques to help their patients. Free
association where the analyst asks the client to relax and then to say whatever
comes to mind. Resistance is the term psychoanalysts use to refer to a client´s
hesitancy or unwillingness to discuss issues raised during free association.
The second technique is dream analysis this is when the analyst interprets the
content of client´s dreams to unlock these unconscious thoughts and feelings.
Transference is when the client is transferring feelings and expectations from
one person to another.
Non directive
therapy is talking openly of about what ever may be troubling them. Active
listening is a widely used communication technique in which the listener
repeats, rephrases, and asks for clarification of the statements made by the
speaker. Cognitive therapy and behavior therapy are considered together because
both methods share the same goal; to help client develop new ways of thinking
and behaving. Psycho surgery is a brain surgery that is performed to treat
psychological disorders. Psychological and physical problems have multiple ways
to be solved. People who care about this problems are interested in helping people
cope with this issues.
Cognitive therapy is to help people learn to
think about their problems in more productive ways. Cognitive psychologists
focus on their beliefs, attitudes and thought processes that create and
compound their clients´ problems. Behavior therapy or behavior modification helps people develop more adaptive
behavior. Behaviorists believe that both desirable and undesirable behaviors
are largely learned and that people with psychological problems have learned
unhealthy ways of behaving. Aversive
conditioning, is the opposite systematic desensitization. Operant conditioning
is based on the assumption that behavior that is reinforced tends to repeat,
whereas behavior that is not reinforced tends to extinguish. Drug therapy is
the most widely used biological treatment for psychological problems.
Antianxiety drugs are used as an outpatient treatment to help people with
anxiety disorders or panic attacks. Antidepressant drugs are used in the
treatment of eating disorders and panic disorder. Antipsychotic drugs are
effective for reducing agitation, delusions and hallucinations.
Therapy
will help a person to be happy in life, and to know how to manage all the types
of problems there are in life, because life isn’t easy this may cause to a
person to do things things that are not right, causing them to be depressed,
etc. Therapy will help them overcome all problems possible.
