Alina, thank you for such a well-structured and informative presentation. The video setup is nice and your explanations are easy to follow. This is the first video that leaves me satisfied in terms of getting a rough idea of the existing forms of psychotherapy. Looking forward to your channel blowing up in the near future :)
Thank you so much for such a generous and kind comment, Adrian. It truly means a lot to me :) I'm so happy to hear that my video was clear and helpful, I love introducing people to psychotherapy approaches. Haha, I don't know if I'd be ready for blowing up on UA-cam :D Best wishes!
So informative and well-structured as always. It was great that you categorized your talk in your comment. It allows your audience to follow your talk more easily. Good job Alina!
I think psychodynamic, CBT and humanistic approaches are all very important. I don't know why graduate school wants me to choose! I want to find the problem, mitigate the symptoms and do it with the clients input and guidance.
Hi Paul! I also appreciate all those approaches, they all aim at understanding the problem and reduce symptoms. I still think as a therapist it's good to start out learning one approach really well and then add other techniques later on. I wish you the best for grad school! 🍀
Hi, thank for your video! I am currently studying cbt, a post graduate diploma. How do you think someone could learn and add other techniques? I am also interested in learning other techniques and integrating. Do you think I would need another degree for that or can I learn through seminars? @PsychodynamicPsychology
Hi Alina. A delphi study on the future of psychotherapy in the USA published last year stated that psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies were on a downward trend. Apparently, it's because clients want less number of sessions due to financial difficulties. Health insurance companies are also wanting the same and are also requiring evidence based therapies before they reimburse a claim. Hence, CBT has become popular in that country. Because of this, many modalities, such as the Adlerian psychotherapy, have started making some adjustments to be recognised as evidence based therapies. Is it also happening in Germany or Western Europe?
Hi Alex! They are indeed on a downward trend precisely for the reasons that you describe. However, meaningful change in psychotherapy takes time and a solid therapeutic relationship. None of that happens in in 6 sessions. We see a stronger focus on CBT in Germany as well. But the health insurance does finance long-term psychodynamic therapy in Germany. I recommend reading this article from Jonathan Shedler on the "evidence" behind evidence-based therapies: jonathanshedler.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Shedler-2018-Where-is-the-evidence-for-evidence-based-therapy.pdf
Thank you so much for this. I am looking to become a therapist in the future. Currently looking at different programs and trying to find what works best for me.
Finding an approach that resonates with you is an important decision indeed. I hope you’ll find an institute that can feel like an intellectual home :)
You did a very good job with this video! Although i don't know really know that much about your field, but i think it's certainly interesting, and I'm learning something new from your videos. Keep going!
Thank you so much, Mazin :) I worried this video is a little long and not that applicable which can get boring quickly. It means a lot you found it interesting nonetheless :) Now that the winter is coming, all of us need your and Maren's travel vlogs more than ever!!

Negative effects of psychotherapy for adults are reported at a prevalence ranging from 3-20% of clients (Berk & Parker, 2009; Linden, 2013; Mohr, 1995; Schermuly-Haupt et al., 2018). These include worsening or lack of improvement of symptoms, development of new symptoms, social difficulties such as increased family distress, stigma, and dependency on the therapist (Berk & Parker, 2009; Linden, 2013; Rozental et al., 2015; Schermuly-Haupt et al., 2018). These effects have been reported across a variety of disorders (Barkley, 2018; Moritz et al., 2015; Parker et al., 2013; Rozental et al., 2015) and for different modalities of therapy (Parker et al., 2013; Roback, 2000; Rozental et al., 2015; Schermuly-Haupt et al., 2018) with qualitative and quantitative findings.
I chose an approach whose view of the world, humans, and psychopathology resonated the most with me. For me that was the psychodynamic approach. If you're scared of making the "wrong" choice it can be helpful to keep in mind that as a counselor you will be forever learning. The first training is the foundation and as you continue practicing you can continue training in as many modalities as you like. However, I personally believe in the value of being trained really well in one modality first - and not learn a bit of everything. That might just be a personal preference though. Best of luck!
Dear Shu, I assume you refer mostly to his Transactional Analysis? I'm not too familiar with it myself but I'm sure that his theories are still used today. In the end, every psychotherapist crafts his own style and will incorporate a lot of different theories and modalities :) As far as I know, there are also institutes who train psychotherapists in Transactional Analysis ;)
@@PsychodynamicPsychology , Yes this also, but what resonated with me the most is the "Script analysis". Transactional analysis seems to me a very practical approach to Freud's teachings. And Games people play I took in a humorous context, although the portrayed situations were not funny at all. I think It's because Berne himself described this from a slightly ironical perspective. But the script analysis left me with deep unsettling feeling. I was disturbed not just because of the notion that people live their life 'programmed' by some scripts but also because that actually makes sense in my view of the world. That got worse when I read C.G.Jung's book, and discovered that even civilisations live by some kind of cyclic 'meta-scenarios'. So Adler's approach for me is sort of missing piece right now. Nice to know that I still have some free will :) Glad, I found your videos. Reading now that book by Ichiro Kishimi you suggested in your last video. Very unique work in the sense that it presented as a dialogue, it's like non-fiction and fiction combined. I think it's the best way to present psychology to broad audience, so people would not scratch their heads with pure 'cognitive complexity', instead just project their personal myth on the story (the same as with movie for example) and go along with the characters. Sorry for the rant :)
Dear Shu, the topics you bring up are highly interesting! I never heard of “Script Analysis” and had to read a bit about it first. In the psychodynamic tradition you will find various explanations for what determines what people feel, think and do. The psychodynamic approach is the approach with the most diverse and elaborate theories there are - that doesn’t mean they’re true, some of them have been negated and many criticized by other traditions but, nevertheless, they’re incredibly interesting as you found out. When those theories are translated into therapy, it’s often about “making the unconscious conscious” (as Jung would put it). For Freud that might be recognizing destructive drives, for Berne the scripts we learned in early childhood, for Jung how archetypes influence our perception and how we give meaning to things, for Adler becoming conscious of underlying goals, life-lies and inferiority, for Bowlby how we are attached to others. In the end, this would hopefully give us the freedom to pursue the life that we want to live, feel the feelings we need to feel, and give meaning to the things we want to give meaning to. I’m personally a huge advocate of responsibility and self-efficacy, so probably this shapes my view of those theories, but for me they all believe in free will and change (maybe not initially but ultimately), otherwise they would not have turned their theories into therapies. I believe that by understanding ourselves better (and every psychodynamic theory might touch on a slightly different aspect), we can better overcome challenges and thrive. But, haha, I can understand how that might make you feel unsettled. Especially when you read Jung, watch out that you don’t lose touch with reality. He was certainly incredibly intelligent, and his theories are very interesting - but he is also quite intense and sometimes “out-there”. And please, please, if Jung does this to you: Don’t read Nietzsche!! :D All the best for you and don’t despair ;)
I'm just amazed of your work as I go through ur channel. This is the best explanation of explaining the 4 schools I've ever heard of. Thankyou so much for this vid.
Thank you so much! Yes, that's very constructive feedback, I agree. In my new videos I started only using intro and outro music but keep the rest "podcast-style" :)
Thankyou ,it was helpful.Could you please suggest me books on psychology if someone wants to understand oneself ,do the shadow work and integrate in a healthy way?Also,could you please suggest content covering the psychological aspects of complicated grief (unresolved issues due to displacement and extreme negative transference) post the death of a very close loved one which has also uprooted the entire life of the one left behind (in all aspects-losing love, home, social connection, and everything associated with the loved one) causing a state of disassociation from reality and regression into survival mode ?How to cope with that grief by feeling it thoroughly and deeply ?
It sounds like you might benefit from talking to a mental health professional to work through everything that happened rather than books. If you'd still really want a book recommendation on grief ,many people love "On Grief and Grieving" by Kübler-Ross and Kessler. I wish you all the best 🍀
Nice overview thanks. I couldn’t help thinking that your rounding up statement that no one theory should be more dominant etc.(paraphrasing) is a very Humanistic view isn’t it?
I wish therapists talk about this to their clients. I spent 2 years in a humanistic approach and was HORRIBLE I didn’t know I had a choice, I thought thearpy was thearpy. Now when I talk to a therapist if I see anything remotely close to Carl Rogers, Motivational Interviewing or Person Center Approach I am out!!!
Systemic psychotherapy comes very clearly out of general systems theory, which was applied to psychotherapy to families. It’s not like they just developed their own theories, all systemic approaches come out from general systems theory, an establish multidisciplinary theory applied to many different areas. They also did not “borrow” psychodynamic and behavioural approaches, a systemic views on mind and behaviour is very different and seconds order circular.

Quick Question:
How do you realize what approach you are natural at and start diploma in it to become a counselor?
I chose an approach whose view of the world, humans, and psychopathology resonated the most with me. For me that was the psychodynamic approach. If you're scared of making the "wrong" choice it can be helpful to keep in mind that as a counselor you will be forever learning.

However, I personally believe in the value of being trained really well in one modality first - and not learn a bit of everything. That might just be a personal preference though. Best of luck!
@@PsychodynamicPsychology how is Humanistic Integrative Counselling to you?
I might by biased because I only did psychodynamic therapy and a bit of CBT, and I find the psychodynamic approach waaay superior.
Very nice overview. That about Eric Berne? Are his theories used nowadays?
