 | | The primary objective with analytic approaches is to help patients gain insight or self-understanding (enhancing conscious awareness of unconscious material, as well as the relationship between past and present), thereby fostering personality changes, symptom relief and greater freedom in determining their lives. |
 | | In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, therapist and patient sit upright and face-to-face, although the emotional stance of the therapist tends to be neutral, to similarly facilitate the emergence of transference issues. |
 | | Schema Therapy is similar to cognitive therapy in that the focus is on correcting problems in a person's habitual patterns of thinking and feeling, and corresponding difficulties in his or her behavioral coping style. |
