(Analytic theory)
(Analytic theory)
The traditional psychoanalytic therapeutic relationship is often described as *this.*
What is a blank screen?
Adler called his approach *this name* because it focuses on how persons understand the world and develop over time.
What is Individual Psychology?
Existential therapists would say that *this* is a normal feeling in which people worry about their purpose in life, their own mortality, or their life choices.
What is existential anxiety?
This psychoanalytic approach gives the patient a word and encourages them to "say the first thing that comes to mind."
What is Free Association?
In psychoanalytic theory, defense mechanisms exist to protect us from *this.*
What is "anxiety" and/or "psychological distress?"
According to psychoanalysis, the patient's behavior is primarily influenced by:
Unconscious wishes and motives
For Adler, one's perceptions about the self, others, and the world, and the rules that give meaning to our actions, was called *this.*
What is lifestyle?
An Existential therapist cannot tell the client what they should do or believe, but they can take on *this* role as they work with them through difficult choices and questions.
What is a fellow traveler?
Existential therapy is particularly useful in situations where clients are dealing with *these* types of issues.
What are life transitions or mortality/end-of-life questions?
This defense mechanism refers to accusing others of having unacceptable feelings/traits that we have.
What is projection?
This part of the unconscious represents our personal moral code or sense of right and wrong.
What is the superego?
For Adler, these were normal feelings that, if properly directed, could motivate a person to achieve and overcome difficulty.
What is "feelings of inferiority?"
In Existential therapy, people have the self-awareness to realize that they have choices, and must take responsibility for them.
What is freedom?
What is interpretation?
This occurs when a patient starts to act towards the therapist similarly to how they act towards others in their outside life (like a parent or a romantic partner).
What is transference?
A psychoanalytic therapist assesses for the presence of *this* phenomenon that creates obstacles in therapy, and attempts to interpret it.
What is resistance?
This perspective taken by Adler suggests that therapists must seek to understand the client's unique perspective and view of their situation.
What is phenomenological?
According to Existential therapy, understanding the "meaning of life" comes from *this.*
What is "the client themself" or "people ourselves?"
In Adlerian therapy, this is an in-depth evaluation of a person's family constellation, life goals, and important childhood experiences.
What is a Lifestyle Assessment?
Which defense mechanism consists of "forgetting" painful life events or feelings?
What is "repression?"
If a client engages in transference with the therapist, and the therapist becomes angry or defensive in response, it is called *this.*
What is countertransference?
Adlerian birth order theory suggests these children might have trouble dealing with other kids, and might prefer being with adults.
What are "only children?"
In existential therapy, our basic realization of our own mortality, and the fact that our time on earth is limited, means that we (unlike Bluey) have *this.*
What is self-awareness?
Though existential approaches do not have many specific techniques, they often encourage clients to live *this kind* of life, which is consistent with the client's important values.
What is authentic?
This defense mechanism occurs when people show feelings that are the opposite of their true feelings (like being very nice to someone you can't stand).
What is reaction formation?
