Effectiveness of psychoanalysis for depression

Great. It is sad that there are people who thinks psychoanalysis is a pseudoscience because they ignore how much it is complex this discussion about what makes a psychotherapy works and what does it mean for a therapy to work.

This is fascinating. Thank you so much for starting this channel. I look forward to your new videos in my feed most of all!

love the perspective shared here, particularly in regards to societal cost!

Truly outstanding videos, for someone like myself who is looking to get into this field this was extremely informative and thought provoking! 😀🙏

Even though i have not gone to a professional ive read countless books and more articles about psicoanalysis especially on the jungian school of tought and with the help of the way he understands how the human mind works and different resources ive partaken into like: self help, stoicism philosophy and a change in lifestyle, i have been successful in delving deep in my mind and trying to understand my self to deal with all of the things i have struggled with mentally like depression (especially worsened by covid) and as a result im living a happier and healthier life :)

I would love sources on the studies you mention. Great video.

thanks for this scientific and great video. this is the most problem between the real psychotherapy i mean the Freud's Heritage named Psychoanalysis and the CBT or others... . i think this video can challenge the APA's thoughts and DSM! Danke! - Alireza Eiv, Ein psychologiestudent im Iran.

This video is excellent, can I ask you how strong is the presence of psychoanalysis in your country?

😍

I had heard many years ago that psychoanalysis, with a typical focus on the past, will be negative for people with depression. This was due to depression being typically already a negative past-oriented view. Is this true? Out of interest with the above, can you cite a study that shows analysis working with depression? I’d like to read it. Thanks!

it is psycoanalysis effective for social anxiety/depersonalization?

Why is Rosa on the channel icon?

Psychotherapy works, Psychoanalysis DOES NOT! Also 1:54 this is totally incorrect. There is a significant rate of remission even in patients who don't receive treatment! In fact Kirsch showed that remission under placebo treatment is almost equivalent to the best drug treatments currently known. Placebo is essentially no treatment (one can differ philosophically, but not materially).

I stopped watching after 2 minutes because of the bullshit statement that without treatment 100% of the patients would stay depressed. First of all, almost nothing is 100% in psychiatric disorders. Furthermore without ANY treatment a depressive episode lasts on average 6-8 months! Ofc the longer the duration of the psychotherapy, as is in psychoanalysis, the higher the probability that a remission will occur in this time, resulting to false positive results. Also if you refer to a study in a video you should present it or at least put a hyperlink so that we can judge its quality. I guess you do have a personal interest to exaggerate the efficacy of psychotherapy but i do hope your SUPEREGO might feel some shame for misinforming, intentionally or not, with such confidence loool. At least dont tell your patients those statistics, either psychotherapy or 100% you will stay depressed.......

you can't measure... what are you talking about?

WRONG! Psychoanalysis is becoming obsolete because it takes too long to start bringing results and therefore more expensive, CBT is the way to go now. Time to get on with the modern times.
