Psychological Perspectives

Introduction

Psychology is divided into several approaches, i.e. the look that is given to humans varies according to the approach which works with the psychologist. Here will be released each of these approaches. While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity.

Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a method to treat mental illness, based on the revelation of unconscious relations, in which the trafficked person is often not aware. Psychoanalysis is a discipline set up initially to treat mental illness, based on the revelation of the unconscious. (Reisberg, 2000)

Psychoanalysis was invented in Vienna by Sigmund Freud, a neurologist interested in finding an effective method of treatment for patients suffering from hysteria or other neuroses. After talking with these patients, Freud theorized that their problems were to cause the desires and repressed and unconscious fantasies of a sexual nature, socially unacceptable. Since Freud, psychoanalysis was released in late 1890 and it has evolved and branched out in several schools and intervention techniques. The basic method of psychoanalysis is to free association. The relaxed patient, he was invited to talk about whatever comes to mind. Dreams, desires, hopes, fantasies and childhood memories are of interest to the specialist in psychoanalysis, which listens and intervenes when it believes should be emphasized or reconsider any part of the patient's speech. (Imada, 2006)

Although psychoanalytic techniques intended to be effective in the treatment of psychosis (one of the most serious mental disorders), the fact is that this has been the case in a few cases (with a great effort and sacrifice on the part of the analyst) because the therapy does not takes into account the biochemical determinants of disease.

Psychoanalysis aims to be:

A therapeutic technique for treatment of mental illness.

A technique used to train psychoanalysts, is a basic requirement of psychoanalytic training undergo psychoanalytic treatment.

A technique of critical observation. Among the successors and contemporaries of Freud are: Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan and many others who have refined Freud's theories and introduced new ones. A movement, particularly led by Freud, which seeks to defend and secure the acceptance of the theory and technique.

Today psychoanalytic ideas are discussed and have a very limited acceptance in the Anglo world, but during the twentieth century had a major influence in film and literature. It is not commonly studied in universities and treatment of mental illness, nor is there legislation regulating medical practice. However, there are still some schools (the Lacanian , for example, has some influence in France and Argentina ) that continue to maintain this goal.

Although psychoanalysis continues in force in Spanish-speaking countries and some European countries as a method of introspection, the space it occupied in the treatment of mental illness was decreasing in favour of other theoretical approaches. His supporters believe that their implementation remains a difficult task, partly because of the duration (and therefore cost) of therapy and in part by the emergence of scientifically validated psychological treatments (mostly behavioural, cognitive and combinations both).  (Jong, 2007)
