What is Psychoanalysis?

A lot of Sigmund Freud's ideas have been debunked over the years (Oedipus Complex, penis envy, psychosexual stages of development...to name a few). But Freud's greatest invention, psychoanalysis, has lived on. Granted, today it is not nearly as popular and there are gaping holes in research and evidence. However, psychoanalysis marked the beginning of psychotherapy as a field. Its influence on psychology is remarkable and likely solidified it as a discipline. Therapy would not be the same without it. In this episode of Micah Psych, we explore the definition of psychoanalysis, its underlying theories, how its practiced, its effectiveness, and if your attraction to your mom is normal...just kidding! Or am I?

I find it disappointing that you neglected to inform the viewers that there are probably around 10 different schools of thought in psychoanalysis today. Almost no one is doing classical Freudian analysis anymore. Whenever I see someone conflating the field as a whole with Freud, I know this is someone who does not know what they are talking about. Freud was a long time ago, so why hold the entire field to what he had to say? There are many prominent psychoanalytic therapists and psychoanalysts who have contributed to the field and Jonathan Shedler has researched and written quite a bit about the efficacy of psychodynamic therapy.

The thing about the word assosiation exercise was that I was thinking of words to say before you said them regardless of what the word was. For dog I said "apple", for toy I said "pineapple", mother I actually went "errr, I dunno" for work I said "work", coat I said "tiring" and for heart I said "pain" Now, I dunno what this says about me, but I'd like a second opinion as to what this could suggest (psychologically, obviously)

[@upandatom]

I loved this! Do you know much about the findings of this theory? You mentioned in the beginning that mental illnesses happened when the subconscious and conscious were in conflict. Or when captain America and that Star Wars thing are in conflict. Is there a theory to what types of conflicts manifest themselves to different mental illnesses? For example, anxiety

[@neurotransmissions]

Well, Freud proposed psychosexual stages of development (which are widely debunked). He proposed that different mental illnesses would manifest depending on what developmental stage the patient becomes fixated on. So, for example, If you become fixated on the "oral" stage, you might have an oral fixation. Or if you become fixated on the "anal" stage, you might be anal retentive (this is why we call some people "anal" when they're super organized or neat). Pretty interesting, even if it's a bunch of bologna!

In the example you gave at 5:36 - would the therapist eventually say to the patient "hey so pay attention to this- you're angry at your brothers but your pointing that at me" ? cause you said they mostly don't talk... so what do they do actually? and what do they do with all the notes? 5 years make tons of notes... I get that the end goal is, like you said, to get yourself conscious about you're unconscious defense mechanisms, but is it done by the therapist pointing them out to you? or if he doesn't then how does it eventually happen?

Sweet! That's nice of you to say! CBT and its techniques have been extensively studied and there is a lot of empirical data to support its effectiveness with different disorders. Psychoanalysis, on the other hand, has a lot of anecdotal support from therapists who use psychoanalysis. However, there has not been enough controlled research conducted on psychoanalysis to classify it as an evidence-based practice. I hope that's helpful!

Just want to know what should a person do after getting all this data.

[@MelvinKoopmans]

The psyche is immensely complex. Depth psychology learns a lot from observing active imagination and dreams, which with the current tools wont lead to solid scientific evidence. That doesn't mean that the theories coming out of these observational studies are wrong though, they might contain very deep truths about our nature. Just because something doens't (yet) have a solid scientific basis doesn't mean it should be abandoned (its not that you guys are saying that). You end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

People who don't know how to use their minds tend to rely on others to understand themselves. People with an able mind don't have to get such therapies. They can understand themselves through introspection. But it takes courage, curiosity, and honesty to truly understand oneself. And most people lack those character traits. So I found out that working on your character traits is the foundation for understanding yourself and freeing you from all conditioning, scripts, or beliefs that detached you from your authenticity. I didn't do any kind of therapy with a psychiatrist or psychologist. Through consistent self-development, I freed myself from my past traumas, negative beliefs, and social conditioning. Now I feel free of shame even if others keep bringing up my past and insulting me. I feel enthusiastic, optimistic, and daring to achieve my dreams.

[@ashiiilala]

I enjoyed your informative and well-explained video, thank you :). However, I would be a bit careful with concluding that the effectiveness of psychoanalysis hasn't been proven. There are studies that show the significant positive effects and non-inferiority of psychoanalysis compared to CBT (e.g. Driessen et al., 2015; Leichsenring & Leibing, 2007). The question much rather is, is the goldstandard of RCTs the fitting tool to measure such an abstract form of therapy, which focuses much stronger on the subjectivity and complexity of human nature? While I agree that Psychoanalysis is not for everyone and also not fitting for all mental illnesses, it would have been nice to include which cases this method is suitable for, e.g. Boderline Personality Disorder.

[@h.a.s.42]

Agree. I would go so far to say that CBT is not for everyone. It is considered the most scientific approach these days and psychology tries so hard to be recognised this way which may be good for recognition of the discipline but not so much for patients/clients. Human soul is not quantifiable and thus qualitative approaches are much better. Although working with thought-feeling-behaviour CBT model is very helpful as the ground work, I don't like CBT personally. I think combination of humanistic, transpersonal, Gestalt/drama/psychomotor, somatic, Jungian (work with imagination, archetypes), psychosynthesis is the way to heal. CBT is a good step for people to understand their cognitive and behavioural process but then it does stop there. What about exploration of unwanted parts, the unknown - that brings self-compassion and acceptance. I like working with Hillman, Donald Kalsched, Bosnak, Assagioli, Jung etc. Much much better.

What you said about tranfererence is wrong, that is actually displacement. Transference is expressing your feelings which you hold for your close one's towards the therapist.

[@neurotransmissions]

Hey there! I can see why you would say it is displacement and not transference. Displacement is releasing emotions on a "safer" target because you could not express them towards the original target. Perhaps I should have clarified that the emotions (like anger) were *also* present in the original situation with the boss or with the brothers. It was not my intention to confuse the two terms, though I see why it sounds like that. Thanks for the feedback!

hello, great work! only a few questions 1) wouldn't Freud call them patients? not clients? (humanists would call them clients) 2)Is'nt client centered therapy the involvment of active listening where the therapist doesnt talk much? if they are similar how do you spot the differences??

[@lou-annmorin33]

Client centered therapy is about the acceptance that the client is the real expert of his subjective world. its a humanistic approach based on Phenonenology philosophy that tries to give a rigourous frame to help client elaborate his subjective experience of his challenges (with Rogers being the first person to do systematic research on what work in therapy). In the client centered therapy, therapist talk. Not as much as client, for sure, but a lot more than in psychoanalysis where the therapist is a lot more neutral. In client centered therapy, if the therapist, after careful consideration, think revealing something about himself or herself, a opinion, will help the client improve toward congruence of the self, they will do it. The therapist is not seing, as in psychoanalysis, as a neutral projecting white board. Active listening doesnt mean being neutral (but require to refrain from answering too fast to let the empathic work do it job). Look at Rogers video with Gloria online, you will see Rogers was talking and his non verbal was way more active than what psychoanalysis does (they stay behind the client couch).

It sounds like a powerful tool but it also sounds like by not sharing with the patient what they are observing, they are just slowing the patients healing. Most people are not aware of their own behaviors. For example if you go to a anger management meetings you will slowly see your own bad behaviors.

[@h.a.s.42]

Yes, I agree, that was a problem of psychoanalysis that it is a blank screen therapist approach which is pretty difficult imo. Schools like psychosynthesis, humanistic approach bring a bit more "honesty" from the side of the therapist. Connecting with a therapist through him sharing his empathy and showing a bit of himself (not oversharing though) can be extremely healing. I have had a few therapist in my life and the blank screen did not work for me.

If you feel that its still helpful, there's no problem in continuing. Studies have shown that there tends to be a dose-response relationship in psychotherapy, where more sessions also mean more improvement. The idea that psychotherapy should always be short-term is debatable. Most forms of CBT have between 40% and 70% relapse, which means that many people who have CBT and stop treatment start becoming anxious or depressed again after one or two years. And when I do long-term treatment with clients we don't focus only on symptoms but also on more general personality change and personal growth. So continuing for years doesn't have to be a bad thing per se. But if you feel that you're stuck and not making much progress, it may be better to change therapists.

Well I saw a guy on my insurance for about 6 months after breaking up with my aforementioned therapist. I wouldn't have done so, but he repeated a trauma I had around coming out and being repeatedly invalidated around that. Well, I switched political parties last year from dem to republican and he didn't approve at all. The new therapist was not as good. But he was a good interim. I'm now working with a lady who does attachment trauma via NLP and family constellations since my main issue is still never in a romantic relationship and I'm now 36...I think I have disorganized or ambivalent attachment, and she says she shifts that. She isn't a therapist tho, but she is an empath and very good.

If psychoanalyzing didn't work, why were there patients who were cured from it like Sabina Spielrein?

Captain America isn't obsessed with any higher ideals, he simply has an insatiable hunger for justice.

As far as I know, psychoanalysis is still going relatively strong in France and Italy...

[@transleytan]

In Argentina and Uruguay as well. Actually, Buenos Aires is one of the main centers of psychoanalysis in the world.

As clear as it can be !!!

[@TheFolkes1]

those words I instinctively said back in another language lol.

[@themillicow]

I'm only now learning that this exists. I use the word psychoanalysis a lot, in the literal sense, that I'm observing and analyzing my psychology from the inside out. Freud's take on psychoanalysis has some similarities but just as many differences. I'll be more careful using that word from now on, now that I know it has other meanings.

[@Teacher_Ann-Cathrin]

There is also differences. Psychoanalysis is a general term and you can use it to study anything, of which is unconscious, so you can be be a cultural psychoanalyst, and you can use psychoanalysis as a form of therapy, which is psychoanalysis as a therapeutical practice. PSychoanalysis is also used in education, which is called psychoanalytical pedagogy. Don't let yourself shy aways! :D
