Hierarchy Approach for Psychoanalyst - abnormal psychology notes continues

Hierarchy Approach for Psychoanalyst I am going to take a break from the conference notes though I have more such as pet grief therapy and pregnancy loss grief. I want to return to my Abornormal psych notes from undergrad to eliminate some note books. I last wrote to you about fear. I will now continue with Hierarchy Approach for psychoanalyst. For the psychoanalyst everything is symbolic of the non-conscience, if it comes into the conscience awareness. A therapist tries to bring the conflict from the sub-conscience to conscience and to help the client deal with it. Eg. spider represents - whatever- find what it represents and then deal with it. Not simply to get rid of fear of spider - previously stopped at some level - when resolved go to the next level. Cognitive therapy is not trying to change your whole personality. It is trying to change the way you think about the topic. So in that case heirachy of what therapy is for. Most research finds that phobias psychoanalytical is a waste of time. Cognitive is oky but takes a fair amount of time. Phobia behaviour works well five or six times. Next: for abnormal : Generalized Anxiety Disorder
