Identify and contrast which theorist developed psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical therapy? Compare and contrast classical psychoanalysis with ego psychology theorists. How are their views similar? How are they different? What are the expectations of clients who participate in classical or traditional psychoanalysis and what is the role of the therapist in this therapeutic approach (and why)? Describe transference and countertransference, and how the nurse psychotherapist can use these in clinical practice. What should you do if you experience this when counseling a patient? Purpose: The purpose of required threaded discussions is an interactive dialogue among instructors and students to assist the student in organizing, integrating, applying, and critically appraising ones knowledge regarding the nursing profession and selected area of practice.
