Viktor E. Frankl named his theory ''logotherapy'', which focuses rather on the future, that is to say, on the meanings to be fulfilled by the patient in his future -- logotherapy, indeed, is a meaning-centered psychotherapy. At the same time, logotherapy defocuses all the vicious-circle formations and feedback mechanisms which play such a great role in the development of neurosis. ''Logo'' is a Greek word equivalent to ''meaning''. Logotherapy, or, as it has been called by some authors, ''The…

Dream analysis can be beneficial in the therapeutic setting to gain insight into the psyche. However, theorists often disagree on how much emphasis should be placed on these interpretations as well as the depth of symbolism within the content of the dreams. On one side of the spectrum, according to Freud’s therapeutic framework, Psychoanalytic Theory, dreams are viewed as the “royal road to the unconscious” (Corey, p. 74). He believed that within the dream phenomenon, our ego’s defenses are…

Under the same sky, we all crave different dreams. In the book The Alchemist Pablo Coelho emphasizes the importance of one’s destiny, proclaiming through the main protagonist, Santiago, that our reason of being is to find our dreams, and make them a reality. Each character in the story plays a significant role in Santiago's journey, as he follow his dream. With everyone he met he made a long lasting connection that he binds with the lessons that each teaches him. Each constantly encouraging him…

Every individual dreams; however, some people are affected more than others. Dreams are sequences of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Most occurring during rapid-eye movement or REM—when brain activity is high and resembles being awake. Many believe that dreams are a connection to an individual’s subconscious. Sigmund Freud, a scientist in the early 1900s performed extensive studies on dreams, including their…

I think that psychodynamic psychotherapy is useful in its modern context. The focus on childhood problems staying into adulthood is centered on a real occurrence, in my opinion. Another facet of psychodynamic psychotherapy, transference, would be extremely useful to have competence in as a therapist. Transference is something that everyone has done. Thus, being aware of someone else’s transference towards you, and then expertly guiding them to understand and master that process is a valuable…

imagination uses myths, and symbols compared to different cultures. Mythological criticism is an archetype that analyzes symbols and characters to find a deeper meaning that is beneath the surface (Gillespie “Finding Mythic” 58).Carl Jung introduced this literary criticism. Carl Jung believed that all individuals share an “ collective unconscious”(Golden).This meant that there is a common thought between all humans that lies below a person's unconscious mind. Mythological critics view literary…

Dreams are mysterious things that people try to understand. Some think that dreams have meaning, whether others think they mean nothing at all. In my opinion, dreams can relate to what you thought about or what you did during the day, but I do not think they have a meaning. You can relate your dreams to things you did if you try to, but I think this means that you are giving your dreams meaning because you want them to mean something. I talked to others to see if they had a similar opinion on…

“Freud and gothic literatures are like cousins, both respond to the problems of selfhood and identity, sexuality and pleasure, fear and anxiety, in the nineteenth and twentieth century.” Freud argued that humans are not unified wholes, but internally ruptured and alienated from nature and himself (Martin 41). “The goal of the Freudian analyst, like that of Victor Frankenstein, is to re-member the dismembered parts of our fragmented selves, to cure us by making us whole. To do so he must achieve…
