Topic 8.10
Why might the use of psychoanalysis as a treatment for mental disorders be criticized?
Psychoanalysis sessions are typically long-term, making it less accessible to individuals who may need immediate or short-term care.
The approach focuses too heavily on empirical evidence.
There is a lack of focus on individual experiences and emotions.
The therapy tends to disregard the role of unconscious factors in behavior.
