Theoretical and methodological manual for OLI Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapy/short vesrsion (original) (raw)

1923, Theoretical and methodological manual for OLI Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic integrative psychotherapy is a developmental process through which the basic abilities of the Ego to process emotions - emotional competences - are developed or unblocked. The main difference between OLI Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and other psychotherapy schools is, in our view, the emphasis on working on basic emotional competencies, "software" for processing emotions. These emotional competences are extracted from the study of four psychoanalytical psychology (Drive psychology - classical psychoanalysis, Ego psychology, Object relations, Self psychology) . They are not defense mechanisms because they do not distort reality in order to protect the Ego from anxiety. Numerous authors of the mentioned psychoanalytical schools recognized and described developmental achievements in managing emotions, but did not define them as developmental achievements that go beyond defense mechanisms, as mature emotional competencies do. In the OLI method, eight emotional competencies are taken as the theoretical basis and the basis for the integration of techniques from other psychotherapy schools.

Psychoanalytic Therapy

Cambridge, 2017

First and foremost a person’s development is a direct result of their childhood thereby a direct result of their personality. Secondly, attitude and mannerisms are irrational and the result of the unconscious mind. These actions, however, are ingrained into the system of the human brain and any attempt to stop those results in defense mechanisms. Conflicts between the conscious and unconscious in the form of repressed thoughts usually erupt into emotional disturbance such as neurosis and neurotic traits, anxiety panic attacks and depression (Cherry, 2006). Changing this confliction and contradicted state of mind however requires therapeutic intervention. The methods of treatment usually involve the process of psychoanalysis. Freud views psychoanalysis as a treatment that the patient expresses his thoughts ranging from fantasies, ideas, and dreams from which the psychoanalyst induces the unconscious conflicts causing the patients various afflictions or character symptoms and assists the patient to interpret them (FIGUEROA C., 2005). The psychoanalyst addresses the patient’s defenses and explores the various issues which sometimes result in transference that causes the patient to display anger to the analyst.

Psychoanalytical theraphy introduction, key concepts

Clinical Social Work Journal, 1988

An introduction to the key concepts in a new psychoanalytic theory, “control-mastery theory” is offered. The role of the trauma and the resulting development of pathogenic beliefs is emphasized in the etiology of all psychopathology. The clinical interventions therapists can use to help patients disconfirm pathogenic beliefs are described. An empirical study is referred to which demonstrates the power of the theory to predict the patient's immediate reactions to the therapist's termination interpretations (Bush & Gassner 1986).
