After reading the literature required for this reaction article, the writer feels that there are many different aspects to consider when considering a certain methodology regarding the type of therapy that fits the style this writer's individual needs, values ​​and methods. While all the theories presented are well researched and provide supporting evidence that they have led to improved quality of life; some approaches discussed are not for everyone. In the four different types of therapy that this writer will present; Psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential and person-centered therapy, the writer hopes to gain a better understanding of the type of therapy best suited to the individuals and environment with which the writer hopes to work. Psychoanalytic therapy is a very popular approach for some therapists; Similar to many other approaches, this therapy is based on the therapeutic alliance that forms between the therapist and the client. Freud believed that every communication between patient and therapist should be seen as a manifestation of transference and countertransference (Catty, 2004). Transference is a major contributor to this approach, as it occurs when the client's unconscious shifts from the past to the present and the client reacts to his or her feelings and fantasies. Catty (2004) argued that transference reactions are unrealistic and inappropriate, but genuinely felt by the client. However, transference and countertransference are always present and may not be determined by this modality. In the course of my research, the writer has discovered that there are several factors regarding psychoanalytic theory that make it less desirable to the population with which he works. . middle of paper...... awareness in an individual, and awareness leads to creative anxiety, creative anxiety leads to change and action, change and action foster expression, and expression deepens the individual's awareness. By making an individual more aware, he becomes more receptive and accepting of the change around him. Person-centered therapy is very similar to the existential approach, in that the client-therapist relationship plays a critical role in the client's success. The results of the techniques used by the therapist are secondary to the attitudes displayed (Corey, 2013). In person-centered therapy, the therapist assumes that both himself and the individual are trustworthy (Thorne, n.d.). The therapist truly cares about the individual and their well-being and, in doing so, creates a therapeutic climate for positive growth.
