What I mean is.when you counsell someone, you use a theoretical perspective, such as psychoanalysis?
.like freud stuff.and does anyone know how you would apply that theory when counselling someone for bereavement/grief?
Answers:
Perhaps person-centered therapy, which focuses on empathy, would be helpful when counseling somebody for grief. I haven't taken my Grief and Trauma Counseling class yet, so take that for what it is worth.
Having recently been on the recieveing end of counselling etc and having lost someone very dear to me this year, I think compassion is much more relevant when it comes to bereavement/ grief.
The key is to gain their perspective, to understand how they see things. Then work with them to overcome whatever is troubling them.
Isn't psychoanalysis the one with the ego states, or is that transactual analysis?
Well, I don't really hold with Freud much; but any theoretical perspective has to be applied to the situation. Each person is different; and the theories are really only approximations.
Look at the person you're counseling; use the theories to understand what they're saying; but remain focused on the person, not some theoretical construct that pushes that person into a box.
Incidentally, the best you can do for someone who is grieving--in my opion--is to let them know you care and are willing to help out in any way possible. That goes a long way towards helping them through such a tough time.
I agree with Neorapter, still trying to help you wiht your question though. So are you trying to counsel someone now, if so are you using psychoanalysis r just trying to find some theoretical perspective? You don't really apply theory to someone in counselling, you use theory to hlep you understand better what you need to do as a facilitator of the healing process and that can be different in each case.
I just don't think Freud was the clearest thinker around this. What is known in psychology and counselling is those general phases and any counselling would be seeking to access and go through each stage, fully, with unihibited discarge of whatever the patient/client felt, just listen well, encourage openess and be prepared for some extreme expressions of behaviour, we get taught to hold it in a lot but many cultures promote the true expression of grief in all its faces.so i think you can apply basic human intellignece instead of freudian psychodynamic (which is heavily psychosexual) theory, that you clearly need ot be trained in to use correctly, and good luck!
Psychanalysis aims to go deeper than the kind of short term counselling usually appropriate for grief and bereavement. Ofcourse it depends on the individual circumstances and any other issues involved.
Some people have enough experience of life without having to bother with theories or psychoanalysis when it comes to understanding and helping people through bereavement, grief, break ups, break downs and general mess ups, counselling is a good thing for a lot of people, but experience of life and what it throws at you is a big help when helping people too.
Yeah.
First you STOP with the mind games.
