- Using relevant examples discuss Psychoanalytic theory and human theory
Psychoanalytic theory Is a basic theory involving the interpretation of mental disorders by investigating the interaction of the conscious and unconscious elements in a given patients mind which results in fears and conflicting results of the conscious mind using dreams and association. In the concept of this theory, humans are termed to have sexual and aggressive drives. In this case, human beings are deterministic. Further irrational forces, unconscious, instinctual, and biological are key drivers. The theorists do not believe in free will. This theory looks deeply into investigating and treating disorders. In theory, things that happen to a person in a childhood can contribute to their later functioning as adults. The unconscious mind prompts people to make different decisions even they don’t recognize it on a conscious level.
Example
If a child had her father leave them at a tender age, the child will have difficulties trusting people because every time she/ he meets someone the action that happened to her at attender age hits her up
On the other hand, the Humanistic theory looks into emphasizing the achievement of the highest potential of an individual. Carl Rogers developed a client-centered theory that supports a conducive climate for clients to look at themselves openly and honestly. It’s important to consider unconditional full self-acceptance, paying attention, and open communication. Further Gestalt focused on the client’s experience in the present moment. Often it works toward making clients comfortable with feelings that previously made them uncomfortable. Existential therapy encourages clients to accept responsibility for their lives and their problems.
Example.
A client ought to stabilize his natural existence other than focusing on the failures that have previously let them down. Business performance today cannot necessarily be used to determine the future of a business. Sustainability is of the essence because it works to relatively work on business today without jeopardizing the plans
- Discuss Rational Behavior Therapy ( REBT) Citing practical examples
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy assumes that most people with emotional or behavioral problems struggle due to their perception rather than experience. Its main aim is to facilitate change in core beliefs and patterns that the clients use effectively for their problems and improve on their ability to function and feel healthy.
In a nutshell, the rationale behind this therapy is that humans are not entirely rational creatures. Albert considered most of our emotional and behavioral problems that are not grounded in reality and influence people to act in inappropriate, unhelpful, and destructive ways.
It’s true to say that irrational beliefs occur due to a person’s or goals being inhabited. Upon not achieving the desired goals and objectives we develop different beliefs about ourselves or the world.
For Example:
Imagine working so hard for a promotion on a vacant position you qualify for in the organization you are working for. Then the company decides to hire from outside. Although you will accept this, it will eventually impact your esteem and develop an irrational belief about why you didn’t get that promotion. Further, you might find yourself weighing on the reasons as to why you didn’t get that job. This may affect you negatively.
