Origin Of Psychodynamic Therapy

 

The origin of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can be traced to Freud’s work and through Psychoanalysis and many see little difference between the Psychodynamic models and Classical Psychoanalysis in terms of techniques, and particularly with regard to the Analytic Psychotherapy model. What seems to be an evident difference between the two systems is perhaps the reduced number of sessions, generally one or two per week for psychotherapy while in Classical Analysis the expectation remain for a minimum of tree session weekly, but more commonly four to five session per week. In both systems however the shared theory, history, tradition, subjectivity and techniques continuously interweave.

 

Many psychodynamic thinkers have developed Freud’s ideas, some following his basic assumptions and others introducing some independent concepts and mainly as post Freudian and post Jungian, Object Relations, Attachment Theory, Self Psychology, Existential psychotherapy and Relational Model. Therefore, while they have some shared attributes, many psychodynamic ideas and practices are not necessarily Freudian in origin.

 

Similarly, each therapist gradually develops his or her own style based on the theoretical model of choice and adjusted by their own personality and experience in response to their clients and the setting in which they work. It would follow then that not every Psychodynamic therapist works in the same way, and that the same therapist may not work in the same way with every client. In my clinical work in particular, I favour an integrative model that encompasses all the above mentioned theories and with the progressing of the therapy over time, I may favour those theoretical models that I experience as most suitable to each client.
