psychodynamic model?

[REBORN]

Yeah I get what you're saying?

But if the textbooks etc have the ONSET of depression as well as the therapy then I wouldn't rule out them asking it. Yeah maybe less likely but I don't see why they wouldn't. Same with Phobias, yeah the onset might be the "focus" but what's stopping them asking us how they manage it too?

What? :S  ...how do you manage phobias using the psychodynamic model? Never heard of this...

[dh1993]

from my text book (psych notes) "psychodynamic psychotherapy assists patients to become more aware of the symbolic natue of their phobia and to explore traumatic past events in order to resolve their unconscious conflict"

[agro]

isnt it stuff like free association, dream therapy, omnipotence etc?

[dh1993]

um yep I know those ones are for depression but ill check if they do that for phobia too

[agro]

yeah, I'm pretty sure they are, what text book are you using?

[agro]

my bad, they're listed in my text book under Psychodynamic psychotherapy but in relation to treating gambling problems

[dh1993]

im using that purple book from Grivas I think? but The one I have next to me is this revision book "psych notes" by Peter Milesi though

[dh1993]

ohh gambling? fair enough, gambling seems hard.

[agro]

yeah I've got the purple Grivas, and it only mentions psychodynamic psychotherapy under how to deal with depression and gambling, not phobias.
Ive got that Psych Notes book too, I found the unit 3 version of it too be quite helpful. This unit 4 skimmed over important information and elaborated on stuff that doesnt really need to be elaborated on.
gambling's actually quite simple and doesnt have as much content as say depression or schizophrenia, I'm glad the school chose it

[dh1993]

ohh really? thats really stupid that both have different things, and I agree! Unit 3 psych notes was awesome but this one.. I dont trust it much. I have to use both books at the same time to learn properly lol.

thats good! If it works for you then you're all good Depression is kinda simple, schizophrenia would be the most interesting but I think itd be the most complicated at the same time. Im freaking out for this exam now :\ I really want A+ again but its harder this time since we have other subjects arggh

[agro]

yeah end of years are the worst.
I had English on thursday, maths on friday, maths and psych on monday, politics on tuesday, australian history on wednesday

[dh1993]

argh yeah thats shit. I had english and ive got maths aswell lol which im not studying for cos its definetly going to be a 10% subject, ive got eco in a couple days but then business management a whole 8 days after that
