Question by Cristina: What are the Strengths and Limitations of psychoanalytic theory?

Best answer:

Answer by SieglindeDieNibelunge
Psychoanalytic theory provides many answers about family dynamics, the struggle between the “Id” (your basic desires), “Ego” (your conscious self) and the “Superego” (your conscience, or sense of right and wrong”. It can help you figure out why your neuroses keep you from being happy and fulfilled and how certain negative thoughts arose.

But what it is NOT good for is changing behavior. It was once thought that the “Behavioral” school of therapy (using types of conditioning and reinforcement) would solve everything but it has many flaws.

The most promising way so far, of changing negative thought patterns and behaviors is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in which positive thoughts are practiced and substituted for negative ones. A new type of therapy, “ACT” (Acceptance, Commitment Therapy), is the latest outgrowth of this and has been quite successful in treating things like low-self-esteem, addictions and phobias, which traditional psychoanalytic therapy does not do very well.

Question by Maria: Why would a child with a “specific learning disability” need counseling?
The high school workers said group counseling (group size: 3 students) would help the student pass algebra. How would counseling help the student pass algebra.

Best answer:

Answer by Graceful
Often students with learning disabilities feel emotionally drained by trying to achieve their goals. Now I would imagine this student has an IEP/504 plan.

-allowing the student to take frequent brakes to clear their mind and relax a little will help them.
-give them time to finish their assignments (with a deadline)
-perhaps do some computer games, or hands on learning will be beneficial.
-instead of them trying to figure out a math problem on paper, have them use a chalk board or white board. This is a bit fun especially if the student has attention issues.
