Bartering in Therapy: Part D of Boundaries Series – In this fourth segment of our Boundaries in Psychotherapy Series, Dr. Zur outlines issues relating to bartering in therapy. Some clients are too poor to afford monetary payment, and a bartering arrangement may work very well for them. On the other end of the spectrum, a very rich client may give no value to money – so perhaps their contributing community service as payment for therapy is more appropriate. Bartering comes with its own set of interesting issues, and Dr. Zur delves into them here. For more on the Zur Institute, please visit us at: www.zurinstitute.com

 

What Happens to Symptoms of ADHD When Girls Become Women?

Filed under: counseling psychiatry

Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic approach preferred by followers of the Freudian school of thought (circa 1900’s) that sees clients as psychologically ill through unconscious conflict within the mind. Freud based his approach on individual clinical case studies, which fail to be empirically tested due to the impossibility of replication. This means that the treatment of clients is an act of faith based on experience of individual therapists own experience.

The conflict that Freud wrote of was the mind’s ability to protect itself from harm by creating strategies that Freud named defence mechanisms. These mechanisms prevent conscious awareness of traumatic experience from the past in childhood that could cause distress to the client. These defence mechanisms often displayed themselves as maladaptive behaviour and presented themselves in therapy as symptomlogy of biological defects, such as twitching, nervousness and at its worst hysteria (panic attacks).

Hello,
try to find more about person centered psychotherapy( Carl Rogers) – is a non directive method, based very much on “here” and”now”…I think is very close to what you are looking for. I am now in a 4 years postgraduate training and I am very enthusiastic about it.

Question by : if they’re not getting divorced, what do i do?
about a week ago my father moved out of his wife’s house. (she is not my blood mother, my mother lives an hour away from my father) she threw a huge tantrum in front of us, & even called her mom. she told my dad to “take a crap or get off the pot”, so we left. he kept telling me how great life would be, looking on the bright side, saying that marriage wasn’t for everyone. but as soon as he started texting her 999999x a day, i figured he would get back with her. yesterday i called my dad, & asked him if there were any news he had to tell me. he told me he moved back in with his wife. he was telling me that i was young, & i wouldn’t understand that you don’t just divorce someone. the thing is, he was divorcing her because she refused to move thirty miles closer so we’re somewhat close to both of the children’s parents. (her children, my siblings) i would totally support them in getting back together, but his wife & i don’t have very good history. she always calls me “abnormal”, a “bipolar b*tch”, & “messed up because she’s the only who needs counseling”.
i see my father this week, but i’m not sure if i want to go see him. i hung up on him the second he told me he was back with his wife & broke down crying.
his wife:
-has depression.
-is a pill popper.
-a closet drinker.
-i don’t know much about her, they rushed into marriage in about two months of knowing each other.
my dad:
-has huge problems with being alone.
-can’t stand spending money.
-talks terribly in front of us.
