who proved psychonalysist doesn't work? i agree maybe it doesn't for some ppl, but as far as i know it is still a form of therapy because for some people it does work.
even though a number of people disagree with freud's many of freud's findings (myself included), he's still "around" because he was the first one to really try to study mental illness and psychology and record his studies.
When studying depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, those who were treated with Psychoanalyses did not fair as well as those who were treated by other evidenced based treatments like Cognitive Based therapy. Children fair better with evidenced based treatment like Mult-Family Systems Therapy. Those treated Psychoanalyses, were in therapy for long periods of time, and in the case of PTSD and depression it was found that Psychoanalyses, was less helpful that Cognitive Based Therpay which helped the patient develop strategies to cope with their illness.
All I am saying is that today, we are relying more on therapies that are evidenced based rather than therapies that are just theories.
By the way, thanks for the best wishes, I hope you were wishing me well for my licensing...That is my next step.
LOL, I wish you well also. I do believe Choux was referring to me and my nursing finals and sitting for the boards though.
Now, what is your source for the above listed information?
My apologies to Choux. My qualification are that I am an MSW and worked for ten years in the Behavorial Health field. One of my sources is Dr. Judith Lewis Herman who is has done a lot of research on recovery. I also have gotten a lot of information from conferences and seminars held by the NYS Office of Mental Health.
I would also cite myself as a source having done numerous papers on PTSD and depression.
