Concept Of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Simplified

By Kerri Stout


Emotional turmoil, pain from broken relationships or from abuse in the family or past relationships may affect many aspects of life of a particular individual. The field of psychoanalysis especially contemporary psychoanalysis deals with such things. It is a branch of therapy that is considered modern.

Sigmund Freud is credited as the father of psychoanalysis but the field has evolved and has taken into consideration other great scholars' work. This new psychoanalysis is a diverse field that aims at discovering oneself and enhancing our personal growth. It also grants a chance to those suffering emotionally or psychologically to heal and developing or enhancing interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.

The unique nature of the different subjective experiences of different people is given much importance in this field. It is an improvement of the traditional psychoanalysis fields where the analyst's perspective was what mattered. The journey encompasses working together of the analyst, the client and any other person to improve the life of the client. It is a combination of thoughts and ideas from all to help the client.

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

Traditionally the sessions are held on a personal level with face to face consultations between the client, the analyst and other people involved. The field is changing very fast to incorporate people who can only manage few hours. There has been effort by some analyst to do the sessions online by employing such tools as conferencing. The personal consultations give a chance to the analyst to keenly observe the client and evaluate progress. They use non-verbal cues in addition to other forms of evaluation to gauge the progress.

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.

Modern psychoanalysis helps you to overcome those situations which distress you for long times and be optimistic again about life. An expert will make your burden lesser and lesser and at the end you fully recover. You should not dwell on depression.
