Freud on DreamsEssay Preview: Freud on DreamsReport this essaySigmund Freud best defines dreams as “the disguised fulfillment of a repressed wish”. Freud argued that our dreams contain clues to our hopes, fears, and fantasies. It is my intent to discuss the topic of dreams and how they provide useful information in helping clients uncover issues that may need to be addressed. In order to understand the meaning our dreams in relation to counseling; it is important to understand the basic concept of the psychoanalytic view and how it relates to our psyche.
The term psychoanalysis can be defined as “a method of analyzing psychic phenomena and treating emotional disorders that involves treatment sessions during which the patient is encouraged to talk freely personal experiences and especially about early childhood and dreams”. Freud believed that our personalities are formed during the first six years of life and that held great weight in determining how we would progress in adulthood, therefore if issues were repressed during those years they could manifest and cause emotional problems in adulthood. Freud believed it necessary to deal with repressed issues during treatment to allow the patient to work through situations that may be a hindrance. One of those tactics was to analyze and interpret the clients dreams.
A therapist’s role has three functions: (1) to help the patient understand a situation, (2) to develop and deepen and direct one’s psychopathy, (3) to help the patient cope with the psychological stress of being depressed, (4) to help the patient and his/her therapist achieve a lasting relationship so as to avoid the consequences of being depressed. An experienced psychopathyologist could advise the therapist about the use of such therapy and the role of psychopathy in the treatment of depression and other such problems by referring the therapist to other psychopathy experts on that topic.
A therapist needs to be able to: (1) conduct an investigation of the subject or an individual’s treatment, (2) to seek to understand and provide direction for the patient so as to provide the patient with a rational thought and to provide some information about his/her psychopathy; (3) to work with and support the patient such that he/she is not being depressed; (4) to prepare and provide for the therapy, (5) to provide the patient with support and to communicate through a variety of channels through which to communicate with him/her, (6) to develop and create a new relationship with the therapist through positive, supportive, and supportive interpersonal and/or academic interactions where appropriate.
As with any therapy, the therapist has to be qualified to work with the therapist. Only a skilled therapist could be able to prepare a patient for therapy because “no such skilled and competent person can prepare a patient for psychotherapy”. Professional psychopathyologists were unable to properly prepare patients for psychoanalysis and should therefore be advised to do some research to prepare them for treatment. In its most basic form, psychopathy is a concept that describes various kinds of mental disorders, often of young people. In fact, psychoanalysis was first created and taught by the French school of psychoanalysis and psychoanalysis was a form of psychopathy that consisted of different types of mental disorders. As the term refers to psychopathy, it has been recognized as a concept and recognized as such through the use of this label. It has also been accepted that psychopathy is a mental disorder that is not related to a specific physical disorder or an emotional state.
Cognitive and psychophysiological research has been successful to evaluate the impact of psychopathy on perception of emotions. These studies have shown that psychosocial factors may influence how people perceive emotional states in order to better their functioning, whereas only a small portion of people were able to understand emotions accurately and understand those feelings and emotions well. For example, it was found that the presence of psychopathy in people does play a role in their development of negative emotions. Although research has not found many scientific relationships, psychological researchers have determined that psychopathy is associated with a greater likelihood of mental functioning, depression, suicide rates and higher death rates. In particular, researchers found that there was no relationship between psychopathy and certain symptoms (eg, attention disorders and antisocial behavior) and a reduction in overall mental functioning. These studies can be considered to illustrate the importance of using psychopathy and/or its associated symptom problems to increase functioning of the brain.
Cognitive research has provided valuable insights in understanding the processes that have been occurring under a psychopathy. Psychopathy is based on a single, unique mental disorder that is described as having different types of feelings or emotions. Such emotions are generally thought to be derived from a specific set of processes. However, psychopathy has other features that may predispose people to mental disorders. Psychopathology and mental disorders are characterized by many different factors. One of these is, of course, the way in which the processes in the mind are connected to the feelings within the person. Cognitive behavior therapy, to the extent it is used, affects different kinds of mental symptoms, but some of the symptoms of such disorders are less common than others. As with any disease, cognitive behavior therapy generally seeks to find a way to address each of these psychological aspects of a person’s life. In addition, we consider how this research was conducted. A number of specific psychological processes can influence how people perceive emotional states and how they think about emotional experiences.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is used in the diagnosis of mental illnesses. It is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, bipolar disorder, paranoid schizophrenia, psychotic illness and autism. Cognitive behavioral therapy refers to psychological therapies that help people with these psychiatric disorders to better understand and interpret events and to think about emotional states. A variety of such therapies are available to the general population, but the majority of psychopathy-related behaviors are used in the treatment programs. In addition, many groups of people report using certain types of psychological tools. Thus, certain types of psychological issues may cause people to seek help for mental health problems, including addiction and depression, bipolar disorder, bipolar disorder of any kind (BPD), or psychotic illness including schizophrenia. Psychopathological aspects of problems can also be problematic for people with mental illness. For instance, people may be more familiar with the effects of medications that cause or exacerbate symptoms of schizophrenia when they are not used. A number of studies have shown that certain psychiatric treatments have psychological effects that make them highly capable of causing high rates of aggression and violence. For example, the use of amphetamines during traumatic brain injury might lead to a significantly increased vulnerability to aggression and violence. The use of antipsychotic medications might exacerbate aggression and violence, but also lead to high levels of anxiety.
Cognitive behavioral therapies, which usually include cognitive behavioral therapy, are used in most cases and may reduce or eliminate some of such mental disorders. Cognitive behavioral treatments have traditionally been used in general as a management for the psychopathy associated with certain disorders. In fact, most of these programs are in fact based on self treatment and there is no need to adjust their methodologies to deal with the types of disorders currently in use. Thus, one often finds it very difficult to make adjustments toward psychopathy, since one’s own unique mental disorder may vary enormously from one group to another and has different affect on a person’s overall life and future. Furthermore, if a person develops high anxiety, suicidal thoughts, or impulsivity, his or her treatment depends critically on how well-designed behavioral treatments
Psychopathy is not merely a type of mental illness which has no physical symptoms such as excessive violence, delusions/absence of self, lack of empathy, or an inability to regulate emotions and thoughts. Psychopathy is a condition where an individual is treated by another party to the mental disorder. To treat a diagnosis Psychopathy may be regarded as follows: A symptom of a specific mental disorder that is not related to a physical disorder, but is a mental disorder characterized by symptoms of mental or physical impairment. For example, a person with bipolar disorder has borderline personality disorder but the physical symptoms are not related to the psychiatric disorder, although symptoms may be similar for those with bipolar and schizophrenia. Another example would be a person who is physically fit but doesn’t have the capacity to speak or feel well and who is incapable of forming a coherent thought. This form of psychopathy is sometimes referred to as “negative thinking”.

A key concept of the psychoanalytic view of dreams is the study of the different stages of consciousness. In an effort to provide treatment Freud attempted to divide the mind into three regions, they were the “unconscious”, the “preconscious” and the “conscious”. By identifying these three regions of the brain Freud was able to categorize our basic thought functions.
The first level of consciousness, unconsciousness is described as material that has been repressed for some reason. That material may include bad memories, being introduced to inappropriate behavior as a child i.e. molestation, experiencing hostility as a child and early forms of abuse. According to Freud, sometimes if issues prove to be too traumatic to handle our brain may place it in an unconscious state, never to be revisited.
The second level of consciousness the preconscious contains all information that can easily be retrieved by the “conscious mind” . These thoughts cannot be considered conscious, because the client may not actually be aware of these thoughts. These thoughts may contain data, that the client is indeed aware of, but may have trouble in dealing with the information for various reasons. This level of consciousness acts as a censor between the unconscious and the conscious.
The third level of consciousnessthe conscious level actively deals with reality. The conscious level understands and controls our problem and thinking mechanisms in our brain. It processes information from our “preconscious” and makes rational approaches on effectively handling situations that may arise. This level is defined as our natural awake state, and is constantly building on who we are as a person.
Through studies Freud believed that it was virtually impossible to recognize thoughts in ones on unconscious level, though through various techniques
