¶ … CCRT method, as used to analyze the case of Ms. A would proceed as follows:
P: Boyfriend does not pay enough attention to Ms. A.
W: Ms. A wants to be accepted and to receive assurance of unconditional love from her boyfriend.
RO: The boyfriend withdraws from her advances and becomes even more distant as Ms. A becomes more demanding.
This pattern has occurred and reoccurred in the patient's life. According to Kassaw and Gabbard, the therapist must be on guard that a similar relationship pattern is not recreated with the therapist (in other words, the woman might be very needy and demanding of the therapist's attention to the point of unreasonableness, then break off the therapeutic relationship if the therapist is not 'there for her.')
The patient's insecurity, according to the psychodynamic approach to therapy, will continue to manifest itself...
A's romantic relationships. However, by reframing the nature of her reaction to what she says is her boyfriend's inattentiveness, a more successful outcome can be realized. For example:
P: Boyfriend is not spending enough time with Ms. A or giving her reassurances of his love.
W: To spend more time with her boyfriend.
RO: Ms. A gives a specific, reasonable request to her boyfriend (such as spending the weekend together to go out to eat and to the movies) rather than constantly demands affirmations of his love.
Q2. The psychodynamic approach to therapy suggests that patients tend to recreate past traumas. In Ms. A's case, she was sexually molested by an uncle, but neither her mother nor her father confronted the uncle (Kassaw & Gabbard 2002: 721).

When considering what we would wish for, one desire that comes to many people's mind is being able to spend a day with anyone, whether they are alive, dead or imaginary. My Godmother If given the choice of spending just
Othello Shakespeare's Skepticism: Unconditional Love in Othello Unconditional love is said by some to be the unobtainable but righteous goal of all living humans. When and if we are capable of generating unconditional love towards our fellow man but in particular those who are closest to us many believe we are capable of ascension to a better place, be it the Christian heaven which stresses unconditional love for one's fellow man and
Love For centuries, great leaders, entertainers, mothers, teacher and a variety of others have searched for the meaning of love. However, even the best philosophers, with the profound thoughts, could not fully define love. Perhaps the reason for this is that love is such a broad subject. There are dozens of answers to the question, "What is love?" Love can be selfless, selfish, giving, jealous, unconditional, temporary, and many other things. People
Love In the Symposium, Socrates repeats the words of Diotima that love “is of the good’s being one’s own always” (Symposium 268). These words essentially get to the heart of Augustine’s own feelings towards his mother Monica, who would be recognized by the Church as a saint: as Augustine observes, she was faithful to God all her life, dutiful to her husband, careful of her children and always laboring to serve
Merit: Reflection David Brooks (2015) makes a valid point in his New York Times article "Love and Merit." His aim is to show that parental love is more important and effective than meritocratic love. The difference between the two is that the former is unconditional and gives the child the sense that he or she is loved no matter what -- even if he or she fails at everything the
A good example of this can be seen in the passage which says, "She gave him a photograph of a boy who was now five. She said you stopped writing. I thought you were dead. He looked at the photograph of the boy who would grow up to look like him, who, although the man didn't know it would go to college, fall in love, out of love and
