It is always important to create an environment of trust. With such an atmosphere, the client will feel free to share thoughts, feelings, and their behaviors that could be negative or even shameful. Freud’s had four characteristics in conjunction control for various essence of psychoanalytic technique these included interpretation, transference analysis, technical neutrality, and countertransference analysis (Kernberg, 2016). There is a chance for the client to freely speak about issues.

My personal view on Psychoanalysis is that this theory does align with my view. The reason for this is that Many of us are influenced by different things from my past and present sense. Therefore, many of us as individuals possess unconscious thoughts, feelings, desires, and memories differently.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being”. Reflecting on what it is to be a person raises profound questions which the concern of two major psychological perspectives have been very much. Every individual represents a unity of personality and the individual then fashions that unity. The individual is thus both the picture and the artist.

Refinement of intuition or nonrational knowing

My personal views of the Existential Therapy are that this theory somewhat aligns with my personal view. It is seen to be centered on the inescapable givens of existence, freedom, isolation, meaninglessness, and death. Plus, the Existential therapy for anxiety is offered as an example of the way this view of human nature differs from commonly accepted counseling paradigms.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt theory is founded on a positive view of human nature. Perl’s believed that developing an awareness of one's feelings, reactions, and thoughts in a present situation could resolve personal issues. In other words, people have the ability to solve their own problems. They can regulate their actions when they are aware of what is happening.

Exercises, or planned interactions: e.g., dream work, empty chair, confrontation Experiments, or spontaneous interactions Group exercises: e.g., making the rounds, Therapeutic Techniques: Taking responsibility, exaggerating, repeating a sentence

My personal views of the Gestalt Therapy are it rejects the oppositions of mind and body, body and soul, thinking and feeling, and feeling and action. Plus, we as individuals are not made up of separate elements, but the mind, body and soul, function as a whole.

PersonCentered Counseling

People are essentially good, and that human nature possesses a basic sense of trust in the client's ability to move forwards in a constructive manner if conditions conducive to fostering growth are present. Furthermore, he perceived human nature as a product of environmental and societal factors as well as heredity, early development, and an innate self-drive striving for growth throughout life.

My personal views of the Person-Centered Counseling are that Theory is similar to the Gestalt Therapy. However, uses a nonauthoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. Basically giving the client a little more control over there treatment.
