· WILF- Shares personal information and his/her life
· TIB- Understands that people share common as well as
different characteristics
· Thinker’s key- The Brainstorming
· Red Hat Thinking
Read and jointly view the text Me by Katy Pike. Discuss how
individuals can differ and be similar i.e. some individuals enjoy
drawing but all individuals need food and water. Using The
Brainstorming Thinkers key, find the similar and different
things people do. Encourage students to suggest the things they
like, dislike or do well at--the things that make ‘me’.
Using the Red Hat Thinking, students are to be introduced to a
drama activity entitled 'Hot Seat’. Have students sit around in a
circle leaving space for a 'Hot Seat' within that circle. Begin by
placing a child in a "Hot Seat" in the front of the room. You be
the interviewer and ask the student questions such as: What is
your favourite colour, food, thing to do (hobby) and subject in
school. Move on to questions like: Do you have any brothers or
sisters? Who do you live with at home? Tell us a little bit about
your family.
Do this with several students. Allow volunteers to ask other
students the same types of questions. Go around the circle and
let students ask questions, giving them the option of passing if
they wish. This provides an opportunity for the students to hear
and see what their classmates like and dislike.

members to form a word list for students to refer to when
writing (such as, mum, dad, brother/s, sister/s, grandmother,
grandfather).

RED HAT THINKING- FEELINGS
Discuss with students the importance of a family unit and how
family members maintain different roles from other families.
Demonstrate to students by cutting up the family photo so that
each family member is separate. Teacher is to paste and label
each family member on the family tree.
Refer to the ‘My Family Tree’ activity. (appendix8) Students
are required to draw on the family tree (if time allows, teacher
can scribe onto students work) .Students are also required to
write the title ‘My Family’- teachers write this clearly on the
whiteboard.
As a whole class, students are selected to present their members
by stating the following:
46. · Who the family member is?
· Their role in the family
· How do they care or for me?
· How do they help me?
· Why they are so important or special to me?
Conclude with students with the ‘2 stars and a wish’ feedback
strategy. Encourage students to give themselves two positive
comments and one wish for an improvement point
Differentiation:
Adjustments: As a whole class complete the family tree activity
together.
Extension: Students can write two sentences regarding their
family members and how important their family is to them. For
e.g. My mum, dad and brother are caring. They help me at
home. Also draw a picture reflecting their sentence.

The Application of Psychoanalytic Theory to the Case of Ana

The Application of Psychoanalytic Theory to the Case of Ana
Psychoanalytic Theory Overview
Psychoanalytic Theory, though adapted from its roots to suit
modern-day counseling necessities and policies, is a widely
used treatment technique. Concepts we commonly see in modern
counseling whose roots trace back to Freud’s Psychoanalytic
Theory are transference, defense mechanisms, and free-
association. Transference, in the realm of Psychoanalytic
Theory, is the unconscious redirection of feelings regarding an
event or person onto an unrelated object or person; in
counseling it is common to see transference when the client
places feelings regarding something towards their counselor.
Defense mechanisms are the ways a client’s mind
subconsciously protects the individual from the trauma of an
event. Free-association is when a client is asked to relate
whatever immediately comes to mind when prompted to recall
events, people, or objects which relate to their overall reason
for attending counseling (Jacobson, 2013).
Goals and Interventions
The overall goal of the application of Psychoanalytic
53. Theory to counseling is to help the client, in this instance Ana,
to discover, understand, and process their unconscious conflicts.
As her counselor, one must aid her in understanding the
underlying cause of these feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and
depression and aiding her in finding a way to overcome these
feelings and persevere. One specific intervention of
psychoanalysis, the overarching therapy associated with
Psychoanalytic Theory, which could aid in the treatment of Ana
is dream analysis. Ana’s subconscious may be protecting her
from the roots of her hopeless, anxious, and depressed feelings
but her dreams may be able to help in revealing the true cause
of these feelings. Analyzing dreams could help not only Ana to
understand what specific aspects of her life are causing these
negative emotions, but also help her counselor to understand
what aspects of her life should be focused on to bring her the
highest level of understanding and relief from these feelings
(Murdock, 2013).
Theory Duration
Psychoanalysis is considered to be a long-term treatment
process. The process of psychoanalysis begins with an
evaluation during which specific goals for treatment are
established. The length of treatment is determined not only by
these goals but also the client’s true progress in working
towards and achieving these goals. In modern psychoanalytic
therapy settings, it is not uncommon for the therapy process to
last a year or longer (Schoenewolf, 2014). As a result of the
amount of time needed to work through her various goals, the
utilization of psychoanalysis would not meet Ana’s insurance
restriction. As a result of this, Ana would need to pay out of
pocket for a majority of the treatment course which can be very
costly.
Counselor’s Role
As a result of Freud’s original beliefs, a counselor is
expected to take on the role of a doctor. The counselor is
charged with the task of determining what different pieces of
information revealed by the client truly mean, and what is
54. significant and insignificant. The counselor must also remain as
disconnected in the client-counselor relationship as possible. In
the case of Ana, the counselor would be responsible for
determining what the information she provides means in relation
to her emotions and the underlying causes of these emotions and
how to combat them. The counselor would then be responsible
for developing and guiding Ana through a plan to alter or
eliminate these underlying causes (Murdock, 2013).
Client’s Role
The modern role of the client is also based upon Freud’s doctor-
patient model of counseling. In the case of Ana, she is
considered to be the patient and her treatment sessions are
guided solely by the counselor. Ana is responsible for reporting
information, such as her dreams and associations between
objects and feelings/emotions, as well as responsible for
following the direction of her counselor. Ana would, in theory,
need to place a large amount of trust on her counselor and their
decisions regarding how to understand and work through her
subconscious emotions and beliefs (Murdock, 2013).
Appropriate Populations
It is appropriate to utilize Psychoanalytic Theory with
individuals who are seeking one-to-one therapy and who can
build a trusting relationship with the counselor. The client must
also be psychologically stable enough to handle the high level
of emotions which may be uncovered throughout treatment. In
the case of Ana, her psychological state would potentially make
her an unfit candidate for psychoanalysis due to her high levels
of depression and anxiety (American Psychological Association,
n.d.).
Social and Cultural Needs
Two social needs of Ana which can be met through
psychoanalysis are her need to acquire a new job and coping
with the stresses of single-parenthood. Psychoanalysis would
help her to understand the underlying causes of her
hopelessness and how this may be subconsciously holding her
back from attaining a new job. A counselor could aid Ana is
55. handling the stress of single-parenthood while also preventing
her in subconsciously resenting her child for any hardships she
is experiencing.
Two cultural needs of Ana’s which can be aided through
psychoanalysis are adjusting to the stressors of being a first-
generation immigrant, and adjusting to the differences between
her life in Guatemala and America. Being a first-generation is
difficult because you are seeking to uphold your cultural beliefs
while not trying to standout in your new country.
Psychoanalysis can aid Ana in coping with these issues while
also coping with the differences between life in Guatemala and
life in America. There are two very different cultures present in
each country and Ana may be struggling with cultural
expectation in America versus the cultural expectations she
grew up with.
Additional Information Regarding Ana’s Case
As her counselor, it is important to understand aspects of
Ana’s up-brining, specifically those related to her family life
and cultural expectations. Her counselor must also understand
important values and aspects relating back to her culture in
order to provide ethical and non-biased and non-discriminatory
service.
Risks of the Utilization of Psychoanalytic Theory
Common risks of the utilization of Psychoanalytic Theory is the
lack of insurance coverage causing unnecessarily high costs for
the patients, and recent negative reactions towards the use of
Psychoanalytic Theory, specifically from feminist groups. As
this theory is based upon Freudian models and beliefs, it is seen
to be sexist and discriminatory toward female populations
(Murdock, 2013).
