Understanding The Concept Of Contemporary Psychoanalysis

By Kerri Stout


The life of an individual can undergo stressful times due to family, relationship or broken hear pains leading to emotional breakdown. Contemporary psychoanalysis is the part of psychoanalysis that helps you understand your emotional breakdown. It is a new and modern therapy.

You can't talk about psychoanalysis and not mention Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. But since his studies the field has changed over the years with new advancements from other scholars and researchers on this field. The new psychoanalysis tries to help a person to rediscover himself to enhance emotional growth. It also helps those suffering emotional breakdown to undergo a healing process and also develop a better interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship

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.

Most analysts perform their duties on a one to one basis. This makes it easier to analyse the depth of the harm the client is going through. This is done by observing their facial expressions, their actions and other non-verbal cues. These may be helpful in the sessions as it is easier to determine the progress made so far. With the advancement in technology, online consultations are coming up with the use of conferencing facilities.

Traditionally the sessions are held on a personal level with face to face consultations between the client, the analyst and other people involved. The field is changing very fast to incorporate people who can only manage few hours. There has been effort by some analyst to do the sessions online by employing such tools as conferencing. The personal consultations give a chance to the analyst to keenly observe the client and evaluate progress. They use non-verbal cues in addition to other forms of evaluation to gauge the progress.

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.

Although you are advised to be optimistic about life, it is not always the case that life works to your advantage. Sometimes, you endure long periods of pain whether physical or emotional and this affects our lives negatively. The modern psychoanalysis is here to help you. Walking the journey with an expert may shorten the healing process. It may also prevent such things as depression and other forms of life crisis.
