Basic differences between the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamics and Humanistic theories.
The basic difference between the CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and psychoanalyse theories is what denotes the source of the problem. Freud thought the main problem is that our unconscious mind drives our actions and we don’t have direct access into that sphere, therefore the client can’t find out what is the cause for her or his disturbances. Psychodynamics counselors help the patient to access their own unconscious mind so that he or she can realize their own suppressed thoughts.
CBT theory states that by our thinking we connected with the outside world and with other people therefore the root of our problem is what we think. We can solve the problem in our conscious sphere by raising awareness about our irrational beliefs or distorted thinking and change them. Fraud doesn’t want to change what we think, rather he wants us to understand the motivation behind our actions and by this we can correct our behaviour. CBT counselor uses goal settings to fix with a client what kind of problems need to solved and analyses his or her conscious thoughts with him to show which is causing a problem and try change.
CBT is a short term therapy but psychodynamic therapy is based on a long term treatment, the humanistic method does not have a time for how long the therapy period needs to be.
By CBT or psychoanalysis a patient-doctor relationship exists but the humanistic theory is person centred, the client and counsellor are equal. The humanistic method doesn’t want to change the client’s beliefs or change their behaviour, rather give the possibility to talk about his or her problem that can’t easily be discussed with family or with other people. Humanistic counselling doesn’t want to solve the client’s problem as the CBT model does or reflects the unconscious mind as psychodynamics therapy does it is more about trying to help the client to be more conscious about own problem and give the possibility of thinking about how to deal with it. Humanistic counselling is non-directive that means the patient is determined by the flow of counselling which can’t be said about the others. Also it has a big difference with what kind of skill they use; in another chapter I have explained this. Humanistic counselling is more emotional, that means the councillor tries to create a warm environment and by empathy and unconditional regards helping the client to explore their own problem and thinking.
The main elements of Psychodynamic Theory.
The psychodynamic theory established and developed by Freud (1856–1939) who described the person’s psyche in a new way. He explained the different various psyche states such as conscious, preconscious and unconscious. The conscious is the first state of our psyche, which makes up a small part of how we are; this is an awake sphere of what we know. The preconscious sphere is near the surface of our psyche but we don’t have direct access, when we want we are able to remember different types of information such as telephone number or other memories. The biggest part of our psyche is unconscious, this part of the psyche we don’t have access directly to. Our psyche is similar to an iceberg only a small part of it is visible to us as consciousness, but the main part of the iceberg is under the water and we are unable to see as we can’t know our unconscious.
Furthermore Freud divided also our personality into three areas; these are known as the Ego states. The first ego state is ID which includes our instincts and desires. Our instincts we are born with and are part of the unconscious processes. The personality of the newborn child is all ID and only later on it develops to the state of ego and super-ego. The opposite of the ID is the superego which concerned with conscience and moral judgment. The superego is creates the idealized self-image that makes by our culture and often contradicts with our desires. The superego can stop you from doing certain things that your ID may want you to do, because the superego consists of two systems: the conscience and the ideal self. The ego is trying to balance between superego and ID. The ego has no concept of right or wrong, it simply aims to satisfy its own desires without causing harm to itself or the ID. It uses techniques such as repression, suppression and sublimation as defense mechanisms to filter out unacceptable thoughts and feelings.
According to Freud personality is established by the age of five and he believed early experiences influence our personality and behavior later on when we are adults. He thought that personality is developed through a series of childhood states because the energies of ID become focused on certain erogenous areas, by this distinguished 5 stages of psychosexual development. If the psychosexual stages are completed successfully, the result is a healthy personality, otherwise fixation can occur.
