Answer 1

Answer:

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy focuses on the awareness of an individual’s unconscious thoughts.Unconscious thoughts such as daydreaming, and extreme fantasies are all considered to be triggers in psychological defenses. Sigmund Freud was a major contributor to the theories and concepts of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. “Freud's development of psychoanalytic theory and practice was influenced by a number of cultural and intellectual trends and scientific models that dominated European circles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.” (Wedding & Corsini,2014).  Adrian Psychotherapy, which was originally named Individual Psychology, was developed by Alfred Adler. Adler worked side by side with Sigmund Freud but had different concepts and thoughts about the theory of psychotherapy and how it works. Adler’s therapeutic approach focused a lot on cognitive theory.
