  • Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis (8)
    RD-6800.6500

    Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis

    RD-6800.6500

    Programs that specialize in providing therapeutic interventions that are based on the theory developed by Freud that the roots of human behavior lie in unconscious motivation and conflict. It takes as its point of departure the concept of the libido (sexual energy), and suggests that the individual's overall development and ability to adjust to life's problems depend on how sexual energy develops in the child, whether it is normal or repressed and distorted into unhealthy channels. Psychoanalysis as a therapy attempts to overcome repressions, often by exploring their origins in childhood in order to release energy for healthy, normal living. Psychoanalysts accomplish this largely by means of free association, dream analysis and working through transference issues over time to overcome resistance and get at the sources of the unconscious impulses. Psychoanalytic psychotherapists accomplish the same objective through utilization of more directive interpretation and a face-to-face therapeutic setting, and focus on the relationship of present behavior to childhood patterns rather than utilize free association.

    Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    RD-8500

    A conjoint psychotherapy model for children and adolescents ages 3 to 18 who are experiencing significant emotional and behavioral difficulties related to traumatic life events. It is a hybrid treatment model that incorporates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral, family and humanistic principles. TF-CBT is designed to be a relatively short-term treatment, typically 12 to 16 weekly sessions for groups of 6-10 children and their parents or caregivers. It can also be used as a part of a larger treatment plan. Delivery sites include community agencies and outpatient clinics.
