Concept Of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Simplified

By Kerri Stout


Life is not always a bed of roses and this means that situations that cause us pain happen more often than we would like. However, not all is lost with the existence of contemporary psychoanalysis. This modern therapy serves to help us deal with situations that bring us down. These issues affect our lives in one way or another and if not properly dealt with may have devastating effects.

Sigmund Freud is credited as the father of psychoanalysis but the field has evolved and has taken into consideration other great scholars' work. This new psychoanalysis is a diverse field that aims at discovering oneself and enhancing our personal growth. It also grants a chance to those suffering emotionally or psychologically to heal and developing or enhancing interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.

The unique nature of the different subjective experiences of different people is given much importance in this field. It is an improvement of the traditional psychoanalysis fields where the analyst's perspective was what mattered. The journey encompasses working together of the analyst, the client and any other person to improve the life of the client. It is a combination of thoughts and ideas from all to help the client.

Importance is given to the personal experiences and perspectives of the individual seeking healing. These experiences, which are usually unique and most times subjective, give an idea of the purpose of the life of the individual. The analyst does not dictate what the client is to do as is the norm with traditional psychoanalysis.

A combination of approaches is then used to give the client the best healing process. The fact that the process takes into consideration all the different aspects of life and makes use of both the present and past experiences, make it an all-inclusive field. This gives better effects and the healing process will be a journey with no turning back.

Some analysts will provide patients with publications or recorded audio or visual documents containing learning materials to better manage their lives. Motivational messages on getting out of an emotion hurting situation can also be given. These materials help the client recover on their own as they read or listen to other people's stories who were in the same situation and pulled themselves out of it.

There are other materials provided by some analyst to enable a faster healing process. Books and videos offering advice and the different ways of dealing with certain issues may be offered for the benefit of the client. These materials are also important to clients who only manage very few hours of sessions due to busy schedules or to emphasize on the lessons learnt from the personal sessions.

Looking for an analyst need not be a very tasking affair. Their training and skills, level of experiences and membership in psychoanalyst movements need be considered. In addition referrals and testimonies from other people who have dealt with them are important. Life may not always work out as expected. Pain may be inevitable and may be for prolonged durations of time. The effects of this pain may be untold but with modern psychoanalysis the problems should be easily solved.
