Most often the patient have inappropriate fear of situations or objects or even a generalized fear, but any other feeling can be a symptom of neurosis. Often a patient can have compulsive impulses to act in a special way, often a ritualistic way. These impusles are often connected with anxiety of something or anxiety that something terrible will happn if he does not act in that way. Neuroses are distingusihed from psychoses by the fact that the neurotic patient have not lost his sense for realities and understands that his tendensies are patological or inappropriate. Neuroses are often called mild diseases and pychoses often serious diseaes. These characteristics are not very good. A neurosis can be very serious and a psychosis can be of little seriousness. The seriousness depends upon how great part of the patient's life the condition controls. The origine of neuroses There ar many theories about the origine of neuroses. Sometimes the patient has experienced something very dangerous or very frightening and this experience has then imprinted a pattern of reactions that repeat itself in similar situations. In other instances the neurosis is a learnt reaction, that is learnt by a bad kind of socialisation in the family and other parts of society. A spescial kind of teories that has had and still has great influence are the psychodynamic teories about the origine of neuroses. These teories are strongly linked to psychodynamic therapies. You can read more about these theories down here.

ABOUT PSYCHODYNAMICS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

Pychotherapy is therapy against mental disorders and physical problems connected to mental disorers by menas of conversation with a therapeut. The conversation usually is repeated through several sessions through many weeks, months and even years.

There are many variants of psychotherapy. The different variants are intimately connected to some hypthesis or theory about the caise of nervous disorders and also sometimes the cause of psychoses.

Many theories and therapies have however in common that they regard unacceptable memories of experiences, unacceptable feelings or uneccaptable lusts to be causative of the disorer. Others regard the disorders to be learned inappropriate reactions.

Some theories emphecize experiences in the childhood, bit some regard experiences through the whole life to present to be important. Some theories even take into account experiences when the child still developed in the womb of the mother or experiences of the child duing the birth process.

Psychodynamic therapy

Unaxeptable feelings, impulses or knowledge as the fundamental of neurosis

These therapies are based on theories that the patient house uneccaptable or painful material in his mind. The material can be memories of earlier experiences that are painful. It can be fear for something that has the origine in prior experiences. It can be lusts, drives or tendencies that the individual do not accept or is forbidden.

Unaccepted impulses will often be of sexual kind or impulses of aggression. Painful memories that many theories emphesize much are memories of childhood sexual abuse or memories of violent activities seen by the child or exerted towards the child. In the last years memories of wartime activities has gained much recognition as origine of mental problems later in life. Such memories will also bring fear that something similar can happen again.

The reason why an individual do not accept material housed in his mind, will often be that the society has learned the individual not to accept it. Thus the psychodynamic theories also have a component of learning. But this component is seldome pointed at explicitely by psychodynamists.

Repression of unaxepted mental material

In orther to cope with the unpleasant of forbidden material, the patient represses it in several ways.

First and foremost the individual will close the access for the contious processes to the material.

Then the individual will create processes that also makes the individual avoid situations that can remaind him of the repressed material. These processes can for example create fear for everything that threatens to reveal agin the repressed material.

In spite of this the repressed material will also never disappear. It wil inevitably cause processes that create thoughts and feelings. In order to avoid thoughts and feelings that disguise the repressed material, the individual will distort these thoughts and feelings in several ways so that they will deal with another objects or other situations than those in the repressed material.

- For example can a person having repressed homosexual feelings create exagerated feelings towards women.

- A person feeling hostility towards some authority in the soicety or his own parents create hostility towards some individual or group of individuals that the society axepts hostility against or even create self-hate.

These process of repression will also cripple the emotions and cognitive abilities in certain ways.

The psychodynamic therapy

The therapy can have the aim for the theraput of understanding experiences earlier in the life that have started inadequate habitual psychological reactions and then the aim of revealing these experiences for the patient and explaining the reactions for the patient. It also has the aim of revealing for the patient what kind of drives, lusts or tendencies that the patient do not accept and represses.

The theory holds that understanding of the origine and mechanisms of the symptoms will make it easier for the patient to get rid of the symptoms and give him ideas of more appropriate ways of reacting. The theory also holds that this understandig often will start a process where the symptoms dissapear automatically. This kind of psychotherapy is called psychodynamic therapy.

There are many variants of psychodynamic therapies that differs in the theories about what types of experiences that are most likely to cause inadequate reactions and thereby mental disorder symptoms and what kind of disorder the different kind of experiences cause.

However, many psychodynamic therapies take the stand that the society has the right to forbid certain kind of lusts, even if these lusts are natural and per se not pathological, and that repressive reactions against these lusts are necessary for making the humans interested in building and maintaining the society and culture. In accordance with that stand, many psychodynamic therapies will not aim at revealing  all or the innermost reasons for a patients reaction, but stop the process of revelation at some point. Likewise the aim will often be not to take away the repression of forbidden or painful material, but rather channalize the repression into more adequate ways.

This stand of regarding prohibitions of natural impulses and repression of these as neccessary, make some psychodynamic therapists or authorities hold part of their theories secret for the general society. When they go out to explain their theories or therapies, they therefore often do it only partially and often also in a dishonest way.

Cognitive therapy

By cognitive therapy tha aim is not so much to reveal experiences that have caused the disorder. Instead the aim is to get the patient to understand how his thinking and reactions are inadequate and instruct the patient to think and react more adequately.

Behaviourist therapy and desesibilisation therapy

By this kind of therapy the patient is gradually trained to go into situations that cause anxiety or other unpleasant symptoms and when the patient gradually is vaned to being in those situations, the symptoms will gradually disappear. This kind of therapy is often combine with some kind of cognitive therapy.

Classical Freudianian psychonaalysis

This kind of psychotherapy is based on the wssuption that natural impulses like sexua impulses and aggressive impulses bring shame and anxiety. In order to alleviate the shameful and anxious feelings, the impulses are hided in the subconscious and the energy is diverted to other kinds of thoughts and impulses that are axepted. The thory is not very explicit about why such impulses bring shame and anxiety or otherwise are rejected, but the theory hints that the shameful and anxious feelings towards the impulses have been thought to the child by the society.

The anxiety originally connected to sexuality and own aggresivity is transformed to some other thing, or to something reminding of the originally unaxepted impulse or situation without the real situation in itself is remembered.

The impulses are transformed to lust, and often exagerated lust for other objects or activities. A person that had homosexual lusts can for example become exageratedly interested in women, but without this interest giving him much satisfaction so that he hunts for one woman after the other. For example can a person begin to overeat grossly and thereby get fat. He can become a hyperactive worker, or he can become exaggeratedly eager to do work for the good of the society.

Even though the original impulses are hidden, the patient will often have thoughts or do actions that somehow are analogous to the original impusles and thus symbolizes these.

Throgh a kind of conversation where the patient just lies and tells everything that komes into his mind, the therapeut listens and analyses what he hears to reveal hidden memories and impulses. The therapist especially listen to find thoughts that somehow symbolizes the hidden and unaxepted impulses.

Gradually the psychotherapist reveal to the patient what he uncovers. To some extend tha patioent himslef will also uncover the hidden impulses and experiences.

Freudianian psychoanalysis is very specific about what kind of impulses and happenings that cause mental problems. It is especially proccupied with a phenomenon called the Oedipus complex by boys and the corresponding Electra complex by girls.

The Oedipus complex is as situation whhere the male child is attracted to his mother sexually. This attraction is recognized by the father that gets jealous and hostile at his son. The boy gets ashamed of his love towards his mother and afraid of the reaction from the father. The sexual impulse is thus supressed and hidden in the sunconscious. His anxiety to his father is also suppressed and hidden.

But instead of the original impulse, shame, anxiety and memories, the child create new impulses towards some other activity and new anxiety to some other things. These new things, however, has some symbolic connection to the original situiation. The new impulses and the new anxiety are created because the psychological energy from the original impulses cannot be destroted. There is a corresponding theory for girls called the electra complex.

Gestalt therapy

Gestalt therapy is an area within the humanistic psychology and was founded by the German physician and psycho-analyst Frederick Perls, his wife, psychoanalyst Laura Perls, and philosopher Paul Goodman in the late 50th century and early 60th century in the United States.

The word Gestalt is German and can almost be translated as "a meaningful whole" or a complete pattern. Gestalt therapy is based, among other things on gestalt-pscychological theories and ideas from existential-phenomenological philosophy.

Basic ideas of Gestalt therapy is that every man himself is responsible for their decisions and actions within the constraints the environment provides. Another basic idea is that choises a person does at several stages in life will influence his feelings and reactions later in life.

Gestalt therapy has developed methods to raise the awareness of people about their own feelings, reactions and actions so that they clearly can recognize and see themselves and their choices.

Gestalt therapy is based on the belief that increased knowledge occur momentarily, in situations where client and therapist meet. It cannot be planned into the future, but will spontaneously appear  in the work between client and therapist.

This creation of wider consciousness is created through conversation, experiments and role playing. The methods are also used for preparation of previously unfinished experiences (which is called the uncompleted gesture salts), for solution of crises, and in self-development. Gestalt therapy is an experience-oriented, process-oriented and experiential psychotherapy.

One of the most important tools in Gestalt therapy is the therapist himself. The therapist is not objective or neutral, but are even willing to go in meeting the client in a I - you confrontation. This means that it is important for the therapist to work on their own unfinished experiences to be available to the client needs in the situation that arises.

Gestalt therapy is said to be suitable for therapy of individuals, couples and groups, for self-development, for teaching and in for business management consulting work. Clients, students and course participants will even experience how they are meeting with others.

Gestaltterapeuter associated NGF can call themselves MNGF.

Primal therapy

The primal therapy was developed by the spychotherapist Arthur Janow after a session with a patient that sponranously began crying and wiping and revealed a very important vent in his childhood that determined his later nervous problems. The primal therapy has the basic theory that the society and the parents do not love the child as the child is naturally, but steadily tries to convert the child to some ideal defined by the society and steadily gives the child hints that it will not be loved as long as it is in his or her natural state and show his or her natural behaviour and lusts.

At some point the child understands that he or she is not loved or axepted, and that he or she must convert to something he is not naturally and that is not good for him. This understandig gives a great anxiety and sadness thatmakes nim convert himself and becomes what is demanded of him. But the knowledge about not being loved as a genuine and natural child or human being is so painful that the child hids it in his subconscious.

However the energy connected to his natural instincts will continue to exist and will be used for new and impulses that however will not give the person any real satisfaction, but often will bring him new problems and pain. The person will also later get steady pain and anxiety to situations remainding him about his natural state that have been crippled.

By the primal therapy the person is deprived of sleep and given the opportunity to act out by cries and wiping and this process makes him remember the situation where he understood that he was not accepted qnd especially lets him reexperience the pain by this situastion. This reexperience is in itself therapeutic and makes the man or woman able to manipulate his psychological functions in a more appropriate way and also hopefully lets him regain some of his original natural state.

The primal therapy has gradually been developed further and by now it holds that there can be several such primal events thet determine a persons mental constitution. The elements in the theory has also be taken up by psychoterapist that are not themselves primal therpists bot hold the explanation offered by primal therapy to be true for some pqtients or for some aqspects of a patients problems.
