Key Concepts

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy is a psychological treatment approach that focuses on altering dysfunctional thought patterns to improve emotional regulation and behavior. It emphasizes the importance of present thinking and problem-solving techniques, rather than exploring past experiences or unconscious conflicts.

Psychoanalytic Therapy

Psychoanalytic therapy is based on the exploration of unconscious motivations and repressed feelings, often linking these to early childhood experiences. This approach seeks to uncover and resolve deep-seated emotional issues that are believed to influence current behaviors and psychological distress.

Temporal Focus in Therapy

Temporal focus in therapy refers to whether the treatment emphasizes present issues or past experiences. Cognitive therapy concentrates on the here-and-now, helping clients manage current challenges, while psychoanalytic therapy traditionally involves a deep exploration of historical, often childhood, experiences to understand and resolve psychological problems.

00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question.

00:02 One difference between psychoanalytic and cognitive modes of treatment is that cognitive therapists, okay, so i'm just going to label this as cog therapist versus a psychoanalyst.

00:31 Sorry if that took a minute.

00:33 So let's look through these options.

00:35 A, that cognitive therapists are going to say little during sessions, that they're going to talk less.

00:42 I don't think this is going to be accurate because both approaches are going to require both like asking patients and clients more about things you're talking about and sharing like findings or sharing what they think to clients and patients.

01:01 So i don't think a is going to be the correct one.

01:05 Let's look at b, emphasizing the primacy of behavior.

01:09 This is the idea that the therapist is going to emphasize behavior as one of the better, like, windows into how a person's feeling or thinking, and they're going to want to analyze behavior more.

01:24 This is going to be in the name itself.

01:27 It's going to be more evident of a behaviorist approach rather than a cognitive therapist or a psychoanalyst.

01:33 So i don't think it's going to be that one.

01:37 Okay.

01:38 Then we have c, a focus on the present.

01:43 Okay, and so that one's going to be pretty close to a cognitive therapist.

01:49 Cognitive therapist, what they're going to do is they're going to look at current thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and look at what those are, what kind of effects those are having and potentially challenge them if they're, you know, not super helpful to a patient's life.

02:06 Okay, so why do i write thoughts? i'm sorry about that.

02:10 This should be present because they're going to focus on.

02:15 People's present thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

02:23 God, that is a busted ass...
