Key terms required for today’s lesson: write them down, decide what you think they mean using the
images
• Insight
• Latent content
• Manifest content – a dream as it appears to a dreamer
Aha! That is why!

Learning Objective: to explore and evaluate psychodynamic therapies for phobias
• ALL will be able to describe the key features of psychodynamic therapies for phobias
• MOST will be able to analyse manifest and latent content of dreams
• SOME will be able to evaluate the worth of psychodynamic therapies for phobias

January 2013: Progress Measure
• Lily has a phobia of cars. This has become so extreme that she is almost a prisoner in her own home, refusing to go out. Lily is unable to watch cars on television, talk about cars or even look at pictures of them.
• Explain how a psychodynamic therapist might treat Lily’s phobia of cars. (3 marks)

Psychodynamic treatments for anxiety disorders
• What do psychodynamic theorists believe is the cause of phobias?
• Therefore the aim of the treatments which then propose is to provide an insight into what the unconscious is anxious about
• They do this by using techniques which lift the ego’s defence mechanisms

There are 2 key aspects to psychodynamic therapies
1. Free Association
2. Dream Analysis

Today you are working in study partners…
• One of you will learn about free association
• One of you will learn about dream analysis
• Then you will teach one another your part of the therapy!

Free Association
• The patient is encouraged to relax and say anything and everything that comes to mind, no matter how odd
• As the patient relaxes the ego finds it difficult to manage the unconcious id impulses and these begin to slip through
• These unconscious impulses are brought into conscious awareness and the therapist interprets and explains the cause of the anxiety
• A02 (-) there are much quicker and simpler ways of dealing with anxiety e.g. systematic desensitisation
• A02 (-) psychodynamic therapies are expensive and time consuming, they can take many years to complete

Dream Analysis• Freud believed dreams provided us with a path into the
unconscious mind• Repressed ideas in the unconscious which cause some
form of anxiety are more likely to appear in dreams than when someone is awake
• Latent content = what the dream really represents• Manifest content = the dream as it appears to a dreamer• E.g. a person who is anxious about sex might dream of
horse riding, manifest content = horse riding, latent content = anxiety about sex arising from a childhood trauma
• A02 (-) the analysis of the unconscious can prove traumatic for patients, because when the defence mechanisms are lifted, negative emotions such as guilt and fear are released

MANIFEST CONTENT – What do you think is the LATENT CONTENT?

Freud ‘the vast majority of symbols in dreams are sexual symbols’
• Knife, umbrella, snake = Penis • Box, oven, ship = Uterus • Room, table with food = Women • Staircase, ladder = Sexual intercourse • Baldness, tooth removal = castration • Left (direction) = crime, sexual deviation • Fire = bedwetting • Robber = father • Falling = anxiety
