In this one-hour workshop you’ll be introduced to the world of psychodynamic theory. You’ll gain an understanding of how it differs from the humanistic approach and how it can over lap in part.
The psychodynamic theory is a psychological theory Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and his later followers applied to explain the origins of human behaviour. The psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person, particularly unconscious, and between the different structures of the personality.
You’ll gain an overview of the role of the psychodynamic therapist and how you can adopt aspects of these ideas to inform your practice. Kate is known for her warm communication, easy to follow style and imaginative descriptions.
