An effective strategy in dealing with people with mental disorders

Grand Canyon University (GCU) presents an inclusive doctorate course adaptable to every doctorate program. DNA represents a metaphor that denotes distinctive artifacts personalized by GCU’s doctorate course for simplifying pupils’ academic journey. The course is grounded in curricular and content development, research guidance, competences and acquaintance, and a detailed dissertation procedure (Gcumedia.com, 2017). The aim is: creation of an effectual, engaging, and stimulating academic experience for doctorate level pupils.

The campus provides corporate leadership and educational courses concentrating on cultivating accountability and knowledge with regard to the development and inspiration of superior- performance entities. The institution also offers other doctoral courses like philosophy in nursing practice, general phycology, and business administration. This course is grounded in the DNA system utilized for instilling economic, leadership and business capabilities among directors and educators. It is based on in- depth scientific, practical and abstract research. Learners imbibe skills that facilitate the application of acquired information to their individual professional interests.

GCU’s DNA artifact provides an interconnected method in diverse doctoral journey stages, facilitating the development of an all- inclusive program approach. By collaborating with the DNA system and educators, I will be able to enjoy a meaningful, swift journey that holds regard for theory and practice within any given domain. The institution has cultivated a rich community in which stakeholders, students and educators strive constantly towards improving and excelling. In the learner’s role, I will experience simultaneous development in the areas of research, content, leadership mentoring and expertise, from major stakeholders and ex- students. Social dealings with the new doctoral community will assure development of program life, geography and discipline. This promotes quality evaluation, improvements, and correction in domains where educators may experience concerns.
Is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy an effective strategy in dealing with people with mental disorders?
My stance is in opposition to the aforementioned statement.

As uncovered within Freud’s dictionary, the penetration of a person’s mind is generally an understated, intricate facade concealing the covert structure and processes of his/her personality (Freud, 2004). The Freudian model adeptly explains, though falls short of forecasting, human behavior. Consequently, it is not possible to either prove or disprove the theory. For instance, testing and measuring the unconscious brain in an objective way is tough. On the whole, the Freudian theory may be considered highly unscientific.

Scant evidence exists for supporting PDT’s (psychodynamic therapy) implementation for obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bulimia nervosa, psychosis or cocaine addiction. The basis for a majority of Freudian theories is proofs garnered from an unreliable sample. Freud’s subjects were largely himself, a child he called Little Hans, and his patients. The key issue here is: case studies by Freud are reliant on an in- depth investigation of a single individual. Further, Freud’s patients were largely middle- aged Viennese females, rendering worldwide generalizations hard (Jacobs, 2003). But Freud did not attach any importance to this and only believed in a qualitative distinction between individuals.
Additionally, Freud might have demonstrated research bias within his analyses – the theorist might only have concentrated on facts reinforcing his ideas, overlooking details and elucidations which failed to fit them. Another argument on the part of scholars is: the Freudian theory ought to be assessed with regard to distinct hypotheses instead of overall. The conclusion is that evidence does exist in support of Freudian facets of paranoia and depression.

To conclude, I may only be able to ascribe psychodynamic psychotherapy’s efficacy to a narrow patient population, rather than the overall population. Freud’s interpretation is undoubtedly prejudiced and this has caused me to stand by the view that psychodynamic therapy might not prove successful in the treatment of psychological disorders.
